Unbowed: A Memoir

Maathai, Wangari. Unbowed: A Memoir. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2006.

Wangari Maathai's memoir relates the concerns Kenyan women raised about firewood, water, environmental decline, and daily labor. The chapter cites this participant account for the lived origins of environmental organizing, rather than treating later institutional movement history as identical evidence.
