Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Nicholas D. KristofMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Perhaps one of the most fair, unbiased books I've held in my hands regarding humanitarian issues for which we all should be concerned. I cannot accurately describe how much I enjoyed reading this book, regardless of hard, ugly truths, the authors are consistent in shining a light on that which is hopeful, looking critically at what is failing in foreign aid and offering suggestions yet simultaneously encouraging innovation and flexibility in tackling issues of human rights. I confidently claim, that of all non-fiction books I've read, this is one I would eagerly pick right back up and begin reading again.

Please read this. Then let's discuss.
Also, hold me accountable. In 6-12 weeks ask me if I am sponsor via Women for Women or not. Please and thank you.
P.S. Sorry I only post book reviews here...I'm trying to think of something else and when I can post something else, I miss releasing myself here, in this space, over a cup of tea.
