I am going to start by saying that I dislike the subtitle of the book. It smacks of sexism. Men did create the climate problem. Men and women are fighting to find a solution.

The stories in the book are good, inspiring. Most of the stories focus on people from the Americas, Africa and Europe.

It’s a pity that she has featured no one from Asia. Doing so would have made the book more complete. It is a small quibble.

I do not share her confidence in the Paris Agreement. To me, her concluding show more chapter seemed to be political, smooth.

Mary could have written a more hard-hitting book. She has not. To miss an opportunity to make a stronger case is a tragedy.
