Rise: Life Lessons in Speaking Out, Standing Tall & Leading the Way

11.98

Gina Miller came to prominence when she brought one of the most significant constitutional cases ever to be heard in the British Supreme Court. Gina successfully challenged the UK government’s authority to trigger Article 50 – the formal notification to leave the European Union – without parliamentary approval. For standing up for what she believed was right, Miller became the target of not just racist and sexist verbal abuse, but physical threats to herself and her family. She was repeatedly asked: how could she keep going at the cost of so much pain and aggravation? To her the answer was obvious: she’d been doing it all her life.

Description

An extraordinary account of what it means to stand up for justice, and for yourself, no matter the cost; now with a new epilogue

‘It is when things feel the most uncertain, and we are at our most tired, frustrated and worn out, that we must dig deep. That’s when we need to find it within ourselves not to turn away and hide in our bunkers, but to rise up and be even more vocal . . . If we hide, when we emerge from our hiding places the world might be transformed into a hostile, alien environment in which we have no say at all and where the things we love and value no longer exist.’
