Spartacus, a touch more modest in his aims, who mainly wanted to go home to see his mum. The two suffragists who posted themselves by Royal Mail to see the prime minister (a first-class idea, though Downing Street declined the parcel).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the peasants to the slaves, the martyrs to the mutineers, Revolting celebrates the resilience and determination of those who dared to challenge the status quo through the ages.
