Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizer. This is one of the components needed to make a glow stick glow. The chemical reaction for this kind of heatless light happens when you mix multiple chemical compounds. When you combine two or more compounds, the atoms may rearrange themselves to form new compounds. Depending on the nature of these compounds, this chemical reaction will cause either a release of energy or absorption of energy. The first known in depth studies of heatless light were in China sometime around 1500 B.C. regarding fireflies and glow-worms and bioluminescence. The second place I found where bioluminescence took place was in 1602 with a type of rock called the Bolognian Stone or Litheophosphorus which is naturally luminescent. When it comes to the real invention of the glow stick, Richard Taylor Van Zandt is the registered inventor on the U.S. Patent filed on November 1, 1976 for the original "Chemical Light Device" at China Lake Naval Weapons Center.

Industrially it's mainly made using a quinone, the structure of which I'm not going to attempt to draw or explain here. See the Wikipedia article in the related links section for more information.
