I'm Nicola Coughlan and for BBC Radio 4, this is History's Youngest Heroes.
Rebellion, risk and the radical power of youth.
She thought, right, I'll just do it.
She thought about others rather than herself.
Twelve stories of extraordinary young people from across history.
There's a real sense of urgency in them.
That resistance has to be mounted.
It has to be mounted now.

Donald Trump's inauguration's coming up in January.
