It was the first time it was happening to an African woman: the honor of receiving the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize for ‘contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace’.
The first East African woman to receive a PhD, after completing a doctorate in Veterinary Anatomy from the University of Nairobi in 1971, the same University in which an Institute dedicated to peace and environmental studies bearing her name would be established 38 years on. A lot has been said about her in life and legacy. More are being said and much more will be said.
