Everybody Matters: My Life Giving Voice by Mary Robinson

5.0

This is an essential read for anyone who is interested in the social changes that have occurred in Ireland from the 1980's to now. Robinson became aware of human rights very early in her life as a school girl in Mayo. She comes across as a truly compassionate person, and not at all egotistical despite her accomplishments. Her descriptions of the United Nations gave me insight into how contentious things get in this in this institution. However, I don't want to go off on a tangent and take the focus of this remarkable woman and her story.
