Review of 'Half the sky' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This book makes me so angry. The stories it tells are infuriating in that such horrific things are happening and that there is no easy way to stop any of it from happening.

It's essential reading but then I'm skeptical of all of the precise statistics and heart-wrenching personal stories. Admittedly they give the book its power but it still raised questions.

Feminism isn't over and every country needs it in a different way.
