"Women might just have something to contribute to civilization other than their vaginas." -Christopher Buckley. This week I am reading Half The Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl Wudunn. This beautifully empowering, journalistic-styled work touches on many facets of the ever complex issues of sex-slavery. If it were not laced with hope for change and with touching stories and pictures of women who have been rescued from brothels, it would be too much to bear. It is such an inspiring work and I just wanted to recommend it.
Love,
Kate
We just finished reading "Not For Sale" about the very same topic which was eye opening and astonishing.
ReplyDeletecool!
ReplyDeleteI love Nicholas Kristof! His op-ed articles are always so good! I heard him on the radio once saying that it would make such a huge difference in societies around the world if we just found a way to make it easier for girls to go to school during their periods, instead of staying home and falling behind.
