As one of the women leaders that are changing Africa she is an inspiration to us all
Gordon Brown
From one of Africa's most positive and far-sighted thinkers comes a wonderful book combining an elegant critique of Africa's troubled past with a rallying cry for how Africans can use culture, nature and self-belief to reverse their continent's decline. The Challenge for Africa is a milestone in African writing that both educates and inspires
Tim Butcher
I hope the world will support her vision of hope
Nelson Mandela

The Guardian
Penetrating. . . a 21st century manifesto for Africans, drawing on her own experience as a worldly Kenyan, street-fighting activists, member of parliament and, from 2003-2006, government minister. Her analysis is thorough. She reaches into African history, culture, psychology, contemporary politics and fragile ecosystems
Financial Times
Wangari Maathai has been a champion of the environment, of women, of Africa, and of anyone concerned about our future security
Kofi Annan
Wangari Maathai is a prophet for our time
