　　In Unbowed, Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai recounts

her extraordinary journey from her childhood in rural Kenya to the

world stage. 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. Infused with her

unique luminosity of spirit, Wangari Maathai’s remarkable story of

courage, faith, and the power of persistence is destined to inspire

generations to come.

written—a gripping account of modern Africa’s trials and triumphs,

a universal story of courage, persistence, and success against

great odds in a noble cause.” —President Bill Clinton"Wangari

Maathai is the rare leader who knows how to create independence,

not dependence. On the page as in person, her example makes each of

us a little stronger, wiser and braver than we ever thought we

could be.” —Gloria Steinem“Compelling. . . . A striking reminder

that the peace award, more than any other Nobel honor, recognizes

success achieved through tremendous adversity.” —

The Seattle

down.” —

The Economist
