"Women hold up half the sky." - Chinese ProverbHalf the Sky, written by Pulitzer prize-winning spouses Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, will change your persective on life. This is not just a book about women's rights, rather a book about human rights. If you have a humanitarian bone in your body, Half the Sky will shock you, sadden you, and empower you.
Half the Sky is a "passionate call to arms against our era's most pervasive human rights violation: the oppression of women and girls in the developing world." It discusses sex trafficking, honor killings, female genital cutting, maternal health, and other horrifying realties. Realities we have escaped through our privileged Western upbringing.
If you have a mother, a sister, a daughter, a female you love, this book is a must. If you don't have time to read it, visit Half the Sky to see what you can do to make a difference in the lives of women and girls across the globe. I know I will no longer be able to turn a blind eye.
