Wangari Maathai was such a strong & independent woman that her husband filed for divorce citing she was " too strong minded for a woman" and he was " unable to control her"
After the divorce he wanted her to stop using his name so she changed it from mathai to Maathai💅🏽

Non è un caso che siano le donne a scandire, con la loro determinazione, la grande lotta del movimento ecologista e a offrire un punto di vista diverso, che forza le gabbie concettuali in cui ci siamo mossi per troppo tempo.

Malgrado il potere crescente degli spacciatori di egoismo, malgrado i negazionisti, ancorati a un passato che ha già saccheggiato presente e futuro, sembra che stia scorrendo sotto traccia, inarrestabile, un’energia nuova.
