Reviews

This compelling account of the life of a remarkable woman also throws light on the history of ATD. It is written with an immediacy that conveys the dignity and joy that marked Mary Rabagliati's contribution to the ongoing struggle against poverty and for the human rights of people experiencing poverty. - Ruth Lister (Member of the House of Lords and Emeritus Professor of Social Policy, Loughborough University) Joyful Revolution is a powerful and personal account of a woman whose journey holds lessons for all who are striving for a better world. Beautifully written and vividly illustrated, this book shows us what true humanity looks like and what it means to lead by example. An inspiring read that is needed now more than ever. - Keetie Roelen (Senior Research Fellow in Poverty and Social Protection at the Open University)
