A review by ckiley4
Unbowed by Wangari Maathai

4.0

I read this for an Ecofeminism class I took, and fell in love with the author, Wangari Maathai, and her story. She started the Green Belt Movement in her home country of Kenya. The Green Belt Movement paid and taught women in Kenya to grow and plant trees, thus improving the economic status of women while fighting to reverse deforestation. Wonderful memoir and inspiring story.
