Half The Sky

An ancient Chinese proverb goes that women hold up half the sky.
Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn want that to be appreciated — on the ground. --By IRSHAD MANJI, NYT


Half the Sky changed my life (for the better) in so many ways I do not know where to begin. This book is positively one of the most conscience inspiring books written. After the first page, the book captured my heart. This is such a well researched and well written book that I could not put it down. We all realize that women around the world face challenges that women in the United States never have to face. With that thought close to mind,  plan to have your eyes opened when you open this book. I challenge you not to be moved, and I dare you to do nothing after reading it. The women who share their stories here are some of the most audacious and strongest women ever, and they are changing their world for the better.
