Half The Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide

From two of our most fiercely moral voices, a passionate call to arms against our era's most pervasive human rights violation: the oppression of women and girls in the developing world.

With Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. Drawing on the breadth of their combined reporting experience, Kristof and WuDunn depict our world with anger, sadness, clarity, and, ultimately, hope.

Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women's potential. They make clear how so many people have helped to do just that, and how we can each do our part....Deeply felt, pragmatic, and inspirational, Half the Sky is essential reading for every global citizen. And, now this incredible book has also been made into a powerful documentary, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity For Women Worldwide Documentary.
