Daring to Struggle,Daring to Win tells the fascinating true story of an individual radical organizer turned independent Chicago city council member, and her forty-year struggle for justice in Chicago.

Shiller participated, when few others did, in the historic fight against the gentrification of a unique economically and racially mixed Chicago community on the Northside.
