She was a warrior with the soft armor of a seamstress; a
warrior with the powerful weapon of the Sunday school
teacher; a warrior wearing a warrior's helmet made of a
crown of perfectly coiled braids; a soldier whose tank in
this battle was a city bus; an improbable warrior leading an
unlikely army of waitresses and street sweepers and
shopkeepers and auto mechanics; a warrior protected in
this army by the piercing weapons of love and nonviolence,
more powerful than any weapons or any army before or
since.
