Description: Unbowed: A Memoir by Wangari Maathai (2006) First Ed. Editorial Reviews Product Description NOBEL PRIZE WINNER • A remarkable memoir of courage, faith, and the power of persistence about one woman's extraordinary journey from her childhood in rural Kenya to the world stage. In Unbowed, Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai recounts her extraordinary life. When Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977, she began a vital poor people’s environmental movement, focused on 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 numerous occasions, Maathai continued to fight tirelessly to save Kenya’s forests and to restore democracy to her beloved country. Review: Spellbinding and very captivating book!!! As a Kenyan I’m ashamed I didn’t read this book until now. I didn’t need to conjure up images of the various characters and scenes described in the book. Growing up I heard about Wangari Mathaai because she was on the news constantly. The year long protest at the All saints Cathedral took place when I was in secondary school. This is a very well written book with so many nuggets and life lessons. I was challenged, inspired and encouraged. The book is in a good used condition. · Please be serious about your bids. Checkout must be completed within 7 days of the close of auction.
