Wangari Maathai
UNBOWED
A Memoir.
Imagine what it's like to be the first woman from your country to get a science degree and have to battle against tribalism and sexism to continue your career.
You cant?
Then read this book!
Oh you should also consider reading this book if you dont believe human activity causes desertification or blame it on global warming.
Maathai gives a personal account and description of how she has seen land clearing destroy arable areas of Kenya and her struggles to encourage tree planting and stop illegal turnovers of public land to private interests to protect Kenya's water sources.
Read it!
