The mother of three, the first woman in East and Central Africa to earn a doctorate,
and the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, Wangari Maathai.
"Wangari Maathai's memoir is direct, honest, and beautifully written - a grippping
account of modern of Africa's trial and triumps, a universal story of courage,
persistence, and success against great odds in a noble cause." Bill clinton
Wangari Maathai is a prophet for our time and Ubowed is a call to arm for all of us who
feel that the planet is overwhelmed by carelless, corrupt or violent leadership.
I have long suspected that the voice to lead us forward would come out of Africa,
and it has- a voice of humour, sense, strength and compassion.
