HALF THE SKY: HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD by KRISTOF, NICHOLAS D. (Paperback - 2010) ISBN: 9781844086825 Subject: CURRENT AFFAIRS Publisher: VIRAGO Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting team, husband and wife Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, take us on a journey through Africa and Asia to meet an extraordinary array of exceptional women struggling against terrible circumstances. In the nineteenth century, the central moral challenge was slavery. In the twentieth, it was totalitarianism. In the twenty-first, Kristof and WuDunn demonstrate, it will be the struggle for gender equality in the developing world. |

HALF THE SKY: TURNING OPPRESSION INTO OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN WORLDWIDE by KRISTOF, NICHOLAS D. (Hardcover - 2009) ISBN: 9780307267146 Subject: SOCIETY, POLITICS & PHILOSOPHY Publisher: ALFRED A. KNOPF Two Pulitzer Prize winners expose the most pervasive human rights violation of our era...the oppression of women in the developing world...and tell us what we can do about it. An old Chinese proverb says "Women hold up half the sky." Then why do the women of Africa and Asia persistently suffer human rights abuses? Continuing their focus on humanitarian issues, journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn take us to Africa and Asia, where many women live in profoundly dire circumstances...and some succeed against all odds. A Cambodian teenager is sold into sex slavery; a formerly illiterate woman becomes a surgeon in Addis Ababa. An Afghan wife is beaten by her husband and mother-in-law; a former Peace Corps volunteer founds an organization that educates and campaigns for women's rights in Senegal. Through these true stories, the authors show that the key to progress lies in unleashing women's potential, that change is possible, and that each of us can play a role in making it happen. |
