I found this piece on the death of Wangari Maathai and wanted to post it right away to share it with women around the world.

She will be dearly missed. <a href=\"http://econewsbits.greencoloredglasses.ca/2011/09/outspoken-environmentalist-feminist-and-nobel-peace-prize-winner-wangari-maathai-passes-away-at-age-71/\">http://econewsbits.greencoloredglasses.ca/2011/09/outspoken-environmenta...</a>
