Unbowed
My Autobiography

Born in a Kenyan village in 1940, Wangari Maathai was determined to get an education even though most African girls then were uneducated. This autobiography tells her story, spanning different worlds and changing times, and describing what the courage, determination, tenacity and humour of one good woman can achieve.

In "Unbowed", we are in the presence of a hugely charismatic yet humble woman whose remarkable story carries with it an inspiring message of hope. Hers is an extraordinary story, spanning different worlds and changing times, and revealing what the courage, determination, tenacity and humour of one good woman can achieve; how as small a thing as planting a seedling and watering it can made all the difference in the world.
