具体描述
From two of our most fiercely moral voices, a passionate call to arms against our era’s most pervasive human rights violation: the oppression of women and girls in the developing world.
With Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. Drawing on the breadth of their combined reporting experience, Kristof and WuDunn depict our world with anger, sadness, clarity, and, ultimately, hope.
They show how a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad. That Cambodian girl eventually escaped from her brothel and, with assistance from an aid group, built a thriving retail business that supports her family. The Ethiopian woman had her injuries repaired and in time became a surgeon. A Zimbabwean mother of five, counseled to return to school, earned her doctorate and became an expert on AIDS.
Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women’s potential. They make clear how so many people have helped to do just that, and how we can each do our part. Throughout much of the world, the greatest unexploited economic resource is the female half of the population. Countries such as China have prospered precisely because they emancipated women and brought them into the formal economy. Unleashing that process globally is not only the right thing to do; it’s also the best strategy for fighting poverty.
Deeply felt, pragmatic, and inspirational, Half the Sky is essential reading for every global citizen.

读后感
一年一度的毕业季来临，“宁要武大郎，不要穆桂英”这个话题的横空出世引起了不小的关注，终于有媒体开始系统性地报道男女生在就业时遇到的性别歧视了。由于女性在社会分工上约定俗成地被认定为要多负起照顾家庭、生儿育女的责任，企业在选人的时候自然愿意选择将更多精力放在...
评分首先要肯定本书的确是一本好书。无论是写作手法、逻辑、故事性上说，都属上层。我对作者收集到如此多的材料，撰写此书，报以非常尊重的态度。 但是我说的可能有些刺耳。 整本书唯一的弱点就是站在了一个西方强权的意识形态上来讲故事。虽然很多章节强调了本地妇女自发的努力...
评分古希腊神话里说，人类原本是男女同体的，由于神灵的惩罚才将人类分成了两性。自那以后， 男人和女人都在茫茫人海里寻找着自己的另一半，试图与那一半重新汇合。 当我们严肃的对待这个传说的时候，多半会一脸无奈的说，唉，人类何苦为难人类。这就是天空的一半对另一半的真实状...
评分本书今年五月上市以来，被问最多的问题之一是书名的翻译。其实，关于这个我们内部讨论过多次，最后为什么没有翻译成“半边天”？理由如下： 1、“半边天”三个字作为中文语境下的一个习惯性词语，容易让人直接联想到毛时代，有些陈旧，虽然人们一看便知，也符合作者的本意，但...
评分在中国，虽然“男女平等”被写进国策，但人人都知道在这里男女并不平等。小时候常听说，女婴被遗弃在大街的垃圾桶旁边；某某家因为女方生不了男孩导致婆媳关系紧张。现在这些例子少了，但是仍然存在。男女不平等已经从旧时简单粗暴的方式慢慢转变成了沉默的规则，并向社会生活...

total feminism:"when women gain a voice in society, there's evidence of less violence."
评分Commons reading done at midnight.感受到一股由内而外的冲动：maybe i could do something to help the needy and be the change i want to see in the world.
评分大部分都是陈词滥调呐，也没有really dig into these issues
评分Each chapter contains a lovely story, and yet there are not a lot of connections between chapters. The writing skill is fine, but somehow not engaging enough.
