Unbowed : One Woman`s Story

`Wangari Maathai is a prophet for our time and “Unbowed” is a call to arms for all of us who feel that the planet is overwhelmed by careless, corrupt or violent leadership. I have long suspected that the voice to lead us forward would come out of Africa, and it has – a voice of humor, sense, strength and compassion. Read this book and pass it on` – Alexandra Fuller. In “Unbowed”, we are in the presence of a hugely charismatic yet humble woman whose remarkable story carries with it an inspiring message of hope.Hers is an extraordinary story, spanning different worlds and changing times, and revealing what the courage, determination, tenacity and humour of one good woman can achieve; how as small a thing as planting a seedling and watering it can make all the difference in the world. `Inspirational…The more difficulties Maathai faced, the more determined she became…Her book wonderfully demonstrates that you don`t need to be in a position of power to start doing something about your environment` – “The Sunday Times”. `Maathai`s book is frank and moving…Like a Nelson Mandela or a Mahatma Gandhi, Maathai stands way above most mortals` – “Guardian”.
