Playwright, actress, and revolutionary -- via the New York Times. Her lifelong collaboration with her husband Dario Fo utilized classic comic and street-theater techniques to spread a socialist message. Together, they fought the state and church -- actions that barred them from the U.S. for many years (where of course free speech is fine . . . if it's the right kind), and that targeted her for rape and assault by right-wing thugs, which she later reenacted in her famous monologue "Lo Stupro" ("The Rape").
