  Inspiring and timely, Pauli Murray's Revolutionary Life is the riveting story of an African American woman, born in 1910, who blazed through the barriers of race and gender decades before the Civil Rights and Women's Movements. Pauli Murray fearlessly rode freight trains dressed as a boy during the Great Depression and befriended First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt before embarking on a pioneering life of social activism, legal scholarship, and many firsts. In 1944, Pauli graduated first in her class at Howard University; in 1965, she was the first Black woman to earn a doctorate in law from Yale University; in 1966, she was a founder of NOW, the first National Organization for Women; and in 1977, Pauli was the first Black woman to be ordained as an Episcopal priest. Pauli never faced a barrier she couldn't smash through, and her life as a feminist, civil rights lawyer, poet, author, activist, and priest paved the way for all to live a life of equality and purpose.

  London: Of all the guys in the world, I just had to fall hopelessly and irreparably in love with my twin sister's boyfriend. 
   
   
   
  Gabriel is also a dork, but he's a hot as all hell dork. But he's straight. He shouldn't attract me the way he does. And did I mention they've been dating for two years? 
   
   
   
  And when my genius of a sister comes up with a bulletproof plan to help me pass my exams by convincing Gabriel to tutor me, I discover that my big, beautiful dork hides a secret even more ruinous than my own. The way he looks at me when we're alone is almost all I've ever dreamed of. 
   
   
   
  Gabriel I'm a hot mess and he's off limits. We are a disaster in the making. I can't say no to tutoring London. It would look like I'm hiding something, which I'm totally not. 
   
   
   
  He crawls under my skin before I know it. He fills my mind with his rosy lips, high cheekbones, and sculped muscles. His male muscles, which I totally don't like. 
   
   
   
  Except, when I'm alone, letting him into my thoughts is a comfort I desperately need. The more I'm with him, the more I see I might be dating the wrong twin. There's no happy ending for anyone here. Unless I own up to the truth: London is all I ever wanted. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
