WangarΔ© Muta MaathaiΒ was a Kenyan social, environmental and a political activist and the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Β
In 1977, Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement, an environmental non-governmental organization focused on the planting of trees, environmental conservation, and women’s rights. In 1984, she was awarded the Right Livelihood Award for “converting the Kenyan ecological debate into mass action for reforestation”. Maathai was an elected member of the Parliament of Kenya and between January 2003 and November 2005 served as assistant minister for environment and natural resources in the government of President Mwai Kibaki. She was an Honorary Councillor of the World Future Council. As an academic and the author of several books, Maathai was not only an activist but also an intellectual who has made significant contributions to thinking about ecology, development, gender, and African cultures and religions.
Maathai died of complications from ovarian cancer on 25 September 2011.
A remarkableΒ memoir of courage, faith, and the power of persistence about one woman’s extraodinary journey from her childhood in rural Kenya to the world stage.Β Β

βThe Washington Post
InΒ Unbowed,Β Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai recounts her extraordinary life. When Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977, she began a vital poor peopleβs 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 Kenyaβs forests and to restore democracy to her beloved country.
I look forward to September and Kenya.
