Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. Authors: Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn

Half the Sky is an important, inspiring book detailing the problems of global oppression of women . . . whether it be through slave trafficking, honor killings, or culture customs. The authors discuss the opportunities that specific women have been given through various support groups. These are upbeat, enlightening stories of success.

My book club members have taken advantage of one of the groups mentioned in Half the Sky, which has allowed us to sponsor women in other countries who are less fortunate and track their success. We are so excited to be able to contribute to the empowerment of women.

The focus of the book is on what a difference we as individuals can make towards Womens' Rights and Human Rights. I highly recommend this read.

Non-fiction; rated 5 out of 5.
