Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide with The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn

Kristof and WuDunn describe an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there. They show how a little help can transform the lives of these women. Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn show that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women’s potential. Countries such as China have prospered precisely because they emancipated women and brought them into the formal economy. Unleashing that process globally is not only the right thing to do, it’s also the best strategy for fighting poverty.
