More a political activist, as stated on her Wikipedia page, than a reformer. The categories are lumped together. This biography was only started yesterday.

To add the "Activists and Reformer" category, we should have something in the bio to indicate what she did to earn it. In what field she was an activist, what she did reform. Sunny Clark, could you please update the biography ?
