Half the sky turning oppression into opportunity for women worldwide

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. Throughout much of the world, the greatest unexploited economic resource is the female half of the population. 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."--Pub. desc.

  • "Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn chronicle the struggles faced by women across the African and Asian continents. From Cambodia to Ethiopia, women are faced with a harrowing array of struggles, including rape and forced prostitution. However, some women have persevered in the face of adversity and have become advocates for women worldwide."

  • "Fruit de plusieurs années d'enquêtes et de rencontres, l'ouvrage raconte les violences commises envers les femmes : prostitution forcée, viol, crimes d'honneur, esclavage, etc. Les histoires de ces femmes, du Pakistan à la Somalie en passant par la Malaisie, montrent leur capacité de résilience. La parole est également donnée à ceux, médecins, acteurs sociaux, etc., qui agissent pour les aider."
  • "Two Pulitzer Prize winners issue a call to arms against our era's most pervasive human rights violation: the oppression of women in the developing world. They show that a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad and that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women's potential"
  • "With Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake a journey through Africa and Asia to meet an extraordinary array of women struggling under profoundly dire circumstances: a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery; an Ethiopian woman left for dead after a difficult birth; an Afghan wife beaten ruthlessly by her husband and mother-in-law. But we meet, as well, those who have triumphed - a formerly illiterate fistula patient who became a surgeon in Addis Ababa; an Indian woman who saved herself and her children from prostitution - and those who make it their work to provide hope and help to other women: the victim of gang rape who galvanized the international community and created schools in rural Pakistan; the former Peace Corps volunteer who founded an organization that educates and campaigns for women's rights in Senegal. Through their stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to 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.

That Cambodian girl eventually escaped from her brothel and, with assistance from an aid group, built a thriving retail business that supports her family. The Ethiopian woman had her injuries repaired and in time became a surgeon. A Zimbabwean mother of five, counseled to return to school, earned her doctorate and became an expert on AIDS."@en
