“We live in uncertain times in which the insatiable greed of the most powerful is leading us to unprecedented crises on multiple fronts, such as the climate crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the inexorable bursting of the global financial bubble. While there is certainly no shortage of reasons for pessimism, in this book, Maude Barlow projects that supportive energy and rebellious, proactive intelligence with which she has inspired us throughout her life and which we need today more than ever. Thank you, Maude.” — Pedro Arrojo-Agudo, UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation
“In a world that is thirsty for good news, Maude Barlow delivers a delightfully refreshing book.

I laughed, I cried, and I wished that Maude Barlow was Canada’s prime minister.” — Dr. David R. Boyd, UN Special Rapporteur on human rights and the environment and author of Thirst for Justice

“Maude Barlow’s latest book, Still Hopeful, does a masterful job of addressing this dilemma [hope]. She definitely does not buy into mindless optimism that humanity will certainly be able to address the multiple crises that we are facing, nor does she succumb to despair that we are helpless in the face of these existential challenges. Instead, we are treated to an eloquent and personal account of her experience of more than four decades as an organizer, activist, and writer in her fight against greed, patriarchy, pollution, and inequality, among other evils.” — Canadian Dimension
