About the Book
Zita Holbourne doesn’t just speak truth to power — she fights for it.
In this powerful and inspiring autobiography, poet, artist and activist Zita shares her journey from creative rebel to one of the UK’s most fearless voices for justice.
Whether leading national campaigns for workers’ rights or challenging inequality in the arts, she has fought for a fairer society.
Blending vivid storytelling with the passion that fuels her poetry and art, Zita reveals the moments that shaped her, the battles that defined her and the unshakable belief that change is always possible.
Bold, urgent and deeply moving, this is the story of a woman who turned her voice into a weapon — and a movement.
Perfect for readers of inspiring memoirs and stories of courage, this is more than a life story. It’s a call to stand up, speak out and make a difference.
