This is about the rebels.
This is about the ne’er-do-wells.
This is about the mutineers, the agitators, the subversives.
Unruly Figures is a celebration of history’s biggest rule-breakers.
Twice a month, historian Valorie Castellanos Clark dives into the life and times of the greatest rebels the world has known. She talks about their lives, the society they lived in, the decisions they made, and how their refusal to play by the rules changed the world.
