Taking a stand, while facing overwhelming odds.

Off the top of my head, both the Heinlein and the Russell occurred to
me, as well as:

I ignored this when James first posted it, but since it's been
revived, I thought of a few:

- the "Lowlifes" in Julian May's THE MANY-COLORED LAND and THE GOLDEN
TORC
- the viewpoint characters in the second of Mercedes Lackey's four-book
crypto-Egypt fantasy series, ALTA
- also from Lackey and much more recent, BEYOND

I had a couple more in mind but I think they're more on the side of a
revolt, at least as far as the plot goes, rather than a resistance
movement.  BEYOND is maybe borderline, as the "resistance movement" is
mostly background and not exactly proletarian either.
