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

5.0

An amazing, inspiring book - not easy to read sometimes as it describes the horror of men's inhumanity toward women in developing countries, often perpetuated by women themselves. But there are many, many personal victories here and hope as the future evolves. There are things we in the West can do to make our world better for others as they are empowered to help themselves. And they are outlined in this book. It's all about women lifting themselves out of their cultural situations and changing the oppressive culture, one woman, then one village at a time. It's all about women's health, women's education, women's work, women's power. Read, absorb, do your part and feel blessed.
