Wangari Maathai Revisited

We received with sadness today the news of the death of Wangari Maathai, founder of the Green Belt Movement, author, and the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.


Our
post of July 2010 reflected on Maathai's book, Unbowed, her work in Kenya, and her global influence on environmental activism.
