Wangari Maathai dedicated her life to improving the world in as many ways as possible. With founding the Green Belt Movement, she wanted to empower the people to examine their situations and take the necessary actions to change them. Wangari believed that through environmental activism we can promote peace by working together to preserve the resources we have around us. Her work garnered international recognition while also putting her in the direct firing line of regimes who wanted her to sit down and be quiet like a "proper woman" should.
