# Introducing Libertarianism.org's Biographical Essays **URL:** **By** Aaron Ross Powell **Published:** December 8, 2011 --- A list of some of the biographical essays at libertarianism.org. Libertarianism.org's [list of major libertarian thinkers](https://www.libertarianism.org/people) just got a whole lot more useful. Due to the generosity of [Jim Powell](https://www.libertarianism.org/people/jim-powell), we're are now including the terrific biographies from his book, [_The Triumph of Liberty_](http://www.libertarianism.org/publications/books/triumph-liberty-2000-year-history-told-through-lives-freedoms-greatest-champions), on individual thinkers' pages. These long essays introduce the thinker's life and works and explore how he or she fits in to the broader struggle for liberty. More biographies are appearing as I write this, but a great deal of them are already available. Some exemplars: [_Frédéric Bastiat_](https://www.libertarianism.org/people/frederic-bastiat) [Frederick Douglass](https://www.libertarianism.org/people/frederick-douglass) [_Milton Friedman_](https://www.libertarianism.org/people/milton-friedman) [F. A. Hayek](https://www.libertarianism.org/people/f-a-hayek) [_Rose Wilder Lane_](https://www.libertarianism.org/people/rose-wilder-lane) [John Locke](https://www.libertarianism.org/people/john-locke) (A special thanks to Kat Murti for helping get these on to Libertarianism.org.) For more, check out the site's [Major Libertarian Thinkers](https://www.libertarianism.org/people) section--and come back often to learn about the important men and women who have advanced the cause of liberty.
