A review by lesliesorensen
Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Nicholas D. Kristof, Sheryl Wudunn

informative medium-paced

3.0

Decent information (although significantly outdated now, since it came out in 2009) and very important message, but it is predominantly a book for older white moderates & has quite a bit of problematic writing / tone.
