From two of our most fiercely moral voices, a passionate call to arms against our era’s most pervasive human rights violation: the oppression of women and girls in the developing world.
With Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. Drawing on the breadth of their combined reporting experience, Kristof and WuDunn depict our world with anger, sadness, clarity, and, ultimately, hope.
They show how a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad. 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.
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.
Deeply felt, pragmatic, and inspirational, Half the Sky is essential reading for every global citizen.

評分本書今年五月上市以來,被問最多的問題之一是書名的翻譯。其實,關於這個我們內部討論過多次,最後為什麼沒有翻譯成“半邊天”?理由如下: 1、“半邊天”三個字作為中文語境下的一個習慣性詞語,容易讓人直接聯想到毛時代,有些陳舊,雖然人們一看便知,也符閤作者的本意,但...

Each chapter contains a lovely story, and yet there are not a lot of connections between chapters. The writing skill is fine, but somehow not engaging enough.
評分As a public health student in the Global Public Health class we were required to read this reading. It was very narrative, while covering all the important points the author wanted to convey to the readers. Stories are very touching, yet lead to deep thinking after reading.
評分total feminism:"when women gain a voice in society, there's evidence of less violence."
