BOOK : Half the Sky

AUTHOR : Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn

PLOT : The bookis a series of essays and anecdotes that work together and forms an argument in two parts.
The first part argues that the oppression of women in (mostly) developing countries is a devastating and under-recognized injustice that’s the equivalent of slavery, and that demands a moral and political movement as focused and principled as the campaign against slavery to bring it to an end. The second discusses practical ways to create this movement and effect the change that’s needed.

WHAT I THOUGHT : I've only been able to read it in small doses as it makes me a little emotional. I'm so blessed to have been born where and when I was. Very interesting to read.
4/5 stars.
