In 2016, Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi became the state counselor of Myanmar. She wasn't always given a say in her country's political affairs. She spent more than fifteen years under house arrest as punishment for speaking out against human rights abuses and promoting democracy. She then became an international symbol of peaceful resistance to oppression. Readers will learn about Suu Kyi's extraordinary struggles and accomplishments. The compelling main text, a detailed timeline, and bonus online material help students contextualize Suu Kyi's life and her impact on history.
