Sheryl WuDunn - Half the Sky

Although I'm in the beginning stages of WuDunn's Half the Sky, I am passionate about its message. The oppression of women is a critical issue in the world today and does not get enough care or attention. Women are getting raped, beaten, and under educated. The author not only addresses these issues in her book, but she speaks about the potential that the female population has. Women are a critical source of income and production. By taking advantage of the population and not seeing this potential, a critical issue is not being addressed properly and the economy is suffering. Half the Sky uses individual cases to get an important point out into the public. Oppressed women who are given the chance to succeed seem to always deliver. This is a pattern that WuDunn and her husband have noticed. They have made it their mission to get the message out there and many people have joined the movement.
