Half The Sky by Nicholas D Kristof
A call to arms against the most pervasive human rights violation of the 21st century: the oppression of women in the developing world.
A brilliantly argued case for investing in the health and autonomy of women worldwide. .

The authors reveal local women to be the most effective change agents * Publishers’ *
