Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Sheryl WuDunn, Nicholas D. Kristof
5.0
Very good book. Target audience is American, but many others will find use in it. Perhaps not advisable for youth or those who might be triggered by descriptions of the forced sex trade and gruesome health complications resulting from poor living conditions.
While the book was hard to read at times, I was glad to know the conditions and am motivated by the authors' suggestions of ways to help. The only fault I find with the book is minor. There's little description of issues we face here in the West. But that's not the point of the book and our issues pale when compared.
