It's hard to believe this sort of crap is still an issue in the 21st century. I'm sure I could have done better at some points in the past, but not much to be done about history; better to focus on an improved future. ( ) The content of this book made me so angry at the men who abused, humiliated,killed or imprisoned women that I could not finish it. The fact that it disturbed me this much means that this is a necessary book. Unfortunately I am afraid that the message may never reach the perpetrators of these crimes. Uprising: A New Age is Dawning for Every Mother's Daughter by Sally Armstrong Due to some of my other reading, the information contained here is not entirely new for me, but it would serve as a great starter for anyone looking to understand the state of women in the world today, the progress that we are making, and the vision for the road ahead. The book is optimistic without being naive, acknowledging both the current progress and that which we have lost along the way. The plight of feminism appears to follow "two steps forward, one step back" in its overall path. Progress gets made, a little at a time. We are in an interesting era for everyone, for women, and for feminism. This book brings the reader along on the journey of women around the world as it is today, it shows us what is happening outside of our bubble. Like I mentioned above, it's a great starter or even if you're a few books in. There were a few organizations mentioned that I'd never heard of but most of them were familiar. Maybe you'll find something new too! Overall great book! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"From Africa to Asia to the Americas, women are the key to progress on ending poverty, violence, and conflict. Award-winning humanitarian and journalist Sally Armstrong shows us why empowering women and girls is the way forward, and she introduces us to the leading females who are making change happen, from Nobel Prize winners to little girls suing for justice. Uprising examines the stunning courage, tenacity, and wit these change-makers are using to alter the status quo. From mud-brick houses in Afghanistan to the forests of Congo to a shelter in northern Kenya, where 160 girls have won an historic court case against a government who did not protect them from rape, Uprising is about the final frontier for women: having control over your own body, whether in zones of conflict, in rural villages, on university campuses, or in your own kitchen. In this landmark book, Sally Armstrong brings us the voices of the women all over the world whose bravery is changing the world as we know it"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
