Well, that part's certainly impossible to dispute...

Like your previous incarnation, you're spiritual, determined, and a natural born rabble-rouser. You're nevertheless traditional and appreciate the rules of the game. You're not a radical, but you're a fighter and you can change the world... you've done it once before!

You were the heroic Rosa Parks in your past life! Called "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement", Parks played an essential role in the Civil Rights Movement. She's most famous for refusing to sit in the back of a public bus because of her skin color. Like your previous incarnation, you're a true believer in fairness and equality. You stand up for what's right and you can strongly influence those around you! Fight on sister, the world needs you!

Rosa Parks actually WAS a badass. A strong advocate of armed resistance to Jim Crow and an admirer of Malcom X.

[BoSoxGal]

No surprise, I got Emma Goldman (although, I'd have been just as proud to get E.R.):

[TPFKA@W]

Back in the 70s I lived in a collective household with a group of other students, leftists &c. It was very inconvenient to have to stop and start the phone, water, power &c when the person moved out in whose name all of those accounts were. So, in a flash of brilliance one of the women in the house said she was "Emma Goldman" and got all of them put in that name. Shortly afterwards we acquired a new cat and called her "Emma Goldman" so that when one of the utilities called and asked for her we could say "she's out" or "she can't answer the phone right now" (Emma was sleeping in the sun splash from the front window). This went on for the years I lived there and several more after until some dirt clod idiot said "Emma is a cat" and screwed up a perfectly functional arrangement.

Looks to me like Emma Goldman the cat accomplished considerably more good than Emma Goldman the person.

[Big RR]

I'll give her a lot of credit for the promotion of birth control together with a rejection of eugenics.
