About the Book:
Unbowed is Wangari Maathai’s acclaimed autobiography, chronicling her extraordinary journey as an environmental and political activist in Kenya. As the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Maathai’s memoir details her fight for environmental conservation, women’s rights, and social justice. Her legacy lives on through the Green Belt Movement, which empowered thousands of women to combat poverty and environmental degradation by planting millions of trees across Kenya.
