The Life & Times of Dr. Wangari Maathai
Meg Bowman, Marsha Farmer, and Pam Erwin put on a play for us:
Nov 25: The Life & Times of Dr. Wangari Maathai
Meg Bowman and two other readers will present her new dramatic reading The Three-Legged Stool, about Dr. Wangari Maathai, the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner. Dr. Maathai was the first woman Ph.D. in Central and East Africa. She authored The Green Belt Movement (2003) and her memoir Unbowed (2006), and has engaged in a thirty-year struggle to save Kenya’s ecosystem.
