Wangari Maathai, the Kenyan environmentalist who started out by paying women a few shillings to plant trees and went on to become the first African woman to win a Nobel peace prize, has died of cancer in Nairobi. She was 71.

Maathai was born in the village of Ihithe, near Nyeri, in the central highlands of Kenya. Her parents were subsistence farmers from the Kikuyu tribe. She was the eldest of six children, and graduated in 1959 from Loreto Limiru Girls' High School run by Catholic nuns.
