I learned a lot about Kenyan history and politics! Maathai was clearly a phenomenal woman and leader. Some sections of the book felt a little too detailed, while others lacked color. I also felt that Maathai wasn’t critical enough of the Christian missionaries and their educational system for how they undermine and sought to eliminate native culture and language.
