The biography chronicles Navi Pillay's journey from her humble beginnings in an Indian family during apartheid South Africa to becoming a prominent human rights advocate. It highlights her determination to pursue education and her groundbreaking achievement as the first black woman to establish a law practice in the country. Pillay's defense of anti-apartheid activists and her role in advocating for political prisoners on Robben Island are key elements of her story. Her nomination by Nelson Mandela as the first black female judge on South Africa's Supreme Court marks a significant milestone in her career.
