Rebel Heart: Against the Wind
A Memoir by Marietta Anderson
What happens when a sharp-tongued girl from small-town Kansas dares to take on the forces of war, censorship, and injustice—and won’t back down?
Set amid the cultural and political upheaval of the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s, Rebel Heart: Against the Wind is the riveting true story of Marietta Anderson, who grows up fighting bullies and defending the marginalized—and never stops. From a harrowing childhood confrontation with a kidnapper to standing on the front lines in Selma, her life is marked by courage and confrontation.
As a young wife and activist, she joins the antiwar and civil rights movements, challenging authority at every turn. When a university suspends her for distributing antiwar leaflets, she mounts a First Amendment legal battle that reaches the U.S. Supreme Court. She and her husband face threats, blacklisting, and the burning of a cross on their lawn.
Rebel Heart is a fearless account of love, betrayal, resilience—and the high cost of telling the truth.
Marietta Anderson, a passionate Kansas native shaped by hardship and nonconformity, relates her experiences in standing up for civil rights, free speech, and the oppressed during America’s most turbulent decades. Her activism—joining the voting rights march at Selma and challenging authority—led to personal sacrifice, including a landmark Supreme Court case over academic freedom. Amid political unrest and personal turmoil, she faced betrayal, violence, and gender injustice. Yet through resilience and reinvention, she emerges stronger, forging a new life on her own terms.
