Professor Wangari Maathai featured in Chelsea Clinton's new book

November 16, 2017

We are honored and equally excited to have Professor Wangari Maathai featured in Chelsea Clinton's new book: She Persisted Around the World.

Women around the world have long dreamed big, even when they’ve been told their dreams didn’t matter. They’ve spoken out, risen up and fought for what’s right, even when they’ve been told to be quiet. Whether in science, the arts, sports or activism, women and girls throughout history have been determined to break barriers and change the status quo.

She Persisted Around the World is a book for everyone who has ever aimed high and been told to step down, for everyone who has ever raised their voice and been told to quiet down, and for everyone who has ever felt small, unimportant or unworthy.
