In the best-selling memoir, "Half The Sky," Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn write about the shocking statistics of the mistreatment of women worldwide. More than 100 million women are missing in India, China, and Brazil alone, many of them kidnapped and forced into sex slavery. This harrowing book sparked the #100Women100Days movement in which women from all over the world are invited to write about their lives, share their experiences, and commit to taking action to end gender inequality.
"Half The Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide" is a beautiful compilation of stories from women from all over the world. The chapters are organized by country and range from a teenage girl's experience of domestic violence to an American woman's harrowing escape from sexual slavery in Pakistan. With the voices of women from around the world, this book is a stunning example of how women can unite to make a difference.
"Half The Sky" is an incredible compilation of stories that share the same purpose: to provide a voice for those who have been silenced and to inspire hope in those who have yet to speak out.
