Book Review of Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide

Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide
reviewed on + 113 more book reviews


A must read book! You will never be the same after reading this book. An amazing account of women of all races facing and overcoming oppression, slavery, torture and despair. If you liked "Three Cups of Tea" it takes it a step further. The authors never sugarcoat the cold reality of injustice and inequality in developing nations for many impoverished girls and women. Yet the stories of survival and of the compassion and dedication of those few individuals who have selflessly given their lives to improve such abyssmal conditions are indelible. A real eye opener on the world of poverty and human rights.
