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. show less

I had no idea! What a wonderful lady. Inspired and uplifted by everything about her.
5 stars I read the earlier British release , everyone who cares about our lives , people and the world needs to read this book, it should be required in an ethics class which should be required in all schools
