291. Welche Biographie bzw. Autobiographie würde dich eventuell interessieren?
Ich lese sehr gern Biografien, aber meist nur kapitelweise neben anderen Büchern, und habe momentan auch zwei "in Arbeit", nämlich von Nadia Murad und Irena Sendler.
Auf dem SuB liegt seit einiger Zeit die Autobiografie der "Mama Miti", der Mutter der Bäume, aus Kenia:
Born in a rural Kenyan village in 1940, Wangari Maathai was already an iconoclast as a child, determined to get an education even though most African girls then were uneducated. In her remarkable and inspiring autobiography, she tells of her studies with Catholic missionaries, earning bachelors and master's degrees in the United States, and becoming the first woman both to earn a PhD and to head a university department in Kenya. She tells of her numerous run-ins with the brutal government of Daniel arap Moi and of the political and personal reasons that compelled her, in 1977, to establish the Green Belt Movement, which spread from Kenya across Africa, and which helps restore indigenous forests while assisting rural women by paying them to plant trees in their villages.
