What is it about?
In her life writing, Greta Thunberg does much more than narrate her life. She builds her identity on calling for change so there can a future. Having approached multiple life-writing texts by Thunberg in the past, now I re-read her testimonial practices in the context of broader activist ones.

Why is it important?
Years after coming to prominence and initiating a global movement, this is vital reading for anyone caring for the planet and why activists mobilize.
Perspectives
I am personally drawn to life writing by disadvantaged individuals fighting against systemic oppression and stereotyping, which is why I have written a wide range of articles about this and other activists.
