Two Pulitzer Prize winners issue a call to arms against our era's most pervasive human rights violation: the oppression of women in the developing world. They show that a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad and that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women's potential.

Life Changing submitted by kdekleine on July 10, 2018, 9:13am I'm so glad I read this book. Though the real-life stories told are often heart-wrenching, the authors also presented them with a hopeful lens. Their perspective on the global plight of women was life changing.
