Presents brilliant women authors, artists, and humanitarians expressing their fervent hopes for justice and freedom. As Iranian-born Caroline Reddy notes in her introduction: "As artists, our mediums—the oil pastels, charcoal, marble, wood, clay, glass, ink, movement, pen to paper—are the peaceful weapons we wield."

They express themselves not through violence or despair, but with beauty, sincerity and an honest yearning for freedom, peace and justice in their home country. This book uplifts voices and spreads a crucial message of the struggle for human rights in a time of unrest.
