Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Sheryl WuDunn, Nicholas D. Kristof
3.0
I would probably rate this book as 3.7 stars.
There was some great information. There were also some things that I didn't entirely agree with, but all-in-all, good stuff to know.
The last quarter of the book felt like it was dragging a bit. (Not to say that it was poorly written, but I did feel like most of the information was presented early on and then just reiterated towards to end.)
Interesting read. Very eye-opening. There is a section that discusses female genital cutting, and because of the graphic content, it would be hesitant to recommend this to some people.
One point that I really agreed with was the idea that college or high school students should be required to spend time abroad in order to see what poverty truly is and what life conditions are like elsewhere. Just imagine how that could change the world.
