Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Sheryl WuDunn, Nicholas D. Kristof

5.0

This is a fantastic book. In true Kristof style, he truly captures emotion and people in telling about the tragedies that ale human society. While I was familiar with most of what is discussed in this book, I really appreciated the way that Kristof demonstrated how aid, particularly international aid on a small scale (i.e. microloans, personal sponsorship and volunteering) can make a huge difference in people's lives and the grassroots efforts to end gender discrimination in its many forms throughout the world. This book is a call to action and it definitely burned a fire under my feet!
