In this FABULOUS collection of essays, poetry, and illustration, Dr. Johnson and Dr. Wilkinson have collected wisdom from women (some famous, some little known) all over the world to address climate change in all its forms. Here you'll find doctors to journalists, models to attorneys, young and old from many races and backgrounds and activists all, expressing their hopes and fears about the crisis we face on Earth. The collection is structured in a very organic way (surprise, surprise!) starting from Root and ending with Rise, to provide a context and leave readers feeling empowered and inspired themselves to continue on their journey.
I first learned about this book when listening to the podcast How to Save a Planet, which is co-hosted by Dr. Johnson, and readers/listeners will find a pleasant overlap. I can confidently say that I learned something new or felt something new in every essay, and I am certain I will draw inspiration from it for some time to come. I am excited to have a new roster of organizations and media to further explore to continue action as a globally-conscious citizen.
