The Right to Be Cold: One Woman's Story of Protecting Her Culture, the Arctic and the Whole Planet
Sheila Watt-Cloutier, one of Canada's most passionate environmental and human rights activists, addresses in The Right to Be Cold the global threat of climate change from the intimate perspective of her own Arctic childhood.
A human story of resilience, commitment, and survival told from the unique vantage point of an Inuk woman who, in spite of many obstacles, rose from humble beginnings in the Arctic to become one of the most influential and decorated environmental, cultural, and human rights advocates in the world, The Right to Be Cold explores themes of loss, suppression, and rediscovery of voice.
"The Right to Be Cold is a moving and passionate story from a committed woman who has bridged the ice age to the digital age. Her sophisticated views on the environment and the way the world works from her engaged involvement are brilliant and convincing."-- Adrienne Clarkson, journalist and former Governor General of Canada
