Yoko Ono recommended Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide in Books (curated)

 
Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide
Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide

"This is a very important book. It is the only book about oppression of WOMEN in Asia and Africa, so far that I have read, that gives the work of women turning the oppression into opportunity for them to create economic independence for them and for all women of the region. Every book on the same subject I’ve read just described the horrors. But this is about the women fighting back successfully without bloodshed! The title, taken from a Chinese proverb, says it all: ‘Women hold up half the sky.’ This book is different from others about gender oppression: It illustrates how women in Africa and Asia are leading a courageous, strong crusade. It is a story of empowerment. We can learn from their wisdom. This book takes a sad song and makes it better, so to speak."
