Take a moment to learn more about journalist and op-ed New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof and business woman and Pulitzer prize winner, Sheryl WuDunn's new book Half the Sky:Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. It is imperative to not only look at the treatment of women worldwide, but to think about how to effect long-lasting change! Check out this recent article on Oprah.com; an excerpt from Half the Sky on 3 things you can do to empower women.
