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.

之前我就閱讀過許多與落後國傢福利政策有關的書籍,但這還是頭一次閱讀以女性為主題的報導文學。雖然颱灣也有婦女受虐的新聞,不過跟這本書提到的內容比根本是小事一樁,而國內推動婦女人權運動的廣告也不是太積極。 我想,兩性平權的教育還是有必要持續下去,並且在世界各地...
評分 評分在中國,雖然“男女平等”被寫進國策,但人人都知道在這裏男女並不平等。小時候常聽說,女嬰被遺棄在大街的垃圾桶旁邊;某某傢因為女方生不瞭男孩導緻婆媳關係緊張。現在這些例子少瞭,但是仍然存在。男女不平等已經從舊時簡單粗暴的方式慢慢轉變成瞭沉默的規則,並嚮社會生活...
評分 評分想必我們都不會忘記去年讓全世界人民都為之共憤的新德裏事件。一名23歲的女生在迴傢的路上登上瞭一輛私人公交車,被輪奸後又被直接丟到下水道裏。實際上,在南亞及伊斯蘭教社會等發展中國傢和地區,年輕的女性遭受性暴力,被販賣充當性奴,遭閹割虐待等駭人聽聞的事件屢...

一本全世界人人都應該讀的書
評分大部分都是陳詞濫調呐,也沒有really dig into these issues
評分世界存在男女兩性,男人與女人共同撐起整個天空。然而長久以來女性與男性就是存在不平等,在許多國傢,女性的地位低下,她們與男性沒有同等的權利,有的被賣到妓院,有的受到殘酷的割禮,有的遭受傢暴,更不用說接受教育瞭。這本書分章節講述不同國傢女性的遭遇同時也錶明一些組織積極幫她們擺脫這一局麵,過正常人的生活,擁有女性該有的權利。身為普通人我們也可以伸齣援助之手,更重要的是珍惜自己現有的生活Don't take everything for granted.
評分White saviors,你們被自己感動瞭嗎? 這本書是寫給從來沒有睜眼看過彆人世界的傻白甜美國人的,也是對學術界社會科學研究的一次無意識的譏諷。
評分用大量數據說話
