She was an ordinary African American woman working hard for a living under very restrictive conditions. Her simple act of defiance, not giving up her seat, was a catalyst for rebellion. Her arrest for a simple act of not giving up her seat lead to a major boycott of the bus system, which pretty much bankrupt that system. She didn't fight anyone, she didn't yell or scream, she just sat there. It really brought to light the injustice of the current system.
