Description

In Unbowed, Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai recounts her peculiar journey from her childhood in rural Kenya to the world stage. When Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977, she started a very important poor people’s environmental movement, focused at the empowerment of women, that soon spread across Africa. Persevering through run-ins with the Kenyan government and personal losses, and jailed and beaten on a lot of occasions, Maathai continued to fight tirelessly to avoid wasting Kenya’s forests and to revive democracy to her beloved country. Infused together with her unique luminosity of spirit, Wangari Maathai’s remarkable story of courage, faith, and the ability of persistence is destined to inspire generations to return.
