This autobiography about Wangari Maathai. She had led an inspiring life as an environmentalist, nobel peace prize recipient, academic, politician, feminist, human rights activist, mother, etc.
If you are interested in women's rights, the environment, Kenya, planting trees, preserving green spaces, women in politics, women in academia, human rights, etc. you will find something in this book to inspire you. I liked hearing about her experiences studying in the U.S. The content is interesting, but sometimes I thought the telling lacked some of the vigor that her life displayed.
If you ever have the chance to see her in person---go for it. She is a tour de force. Her humor, no-nonsense approach and passion are amazing. It will make you want to plant a tree. So what's stopping you?
