From Pulitzer winners Kristof and WuDunn, a piercing look at the global oppression of women - and the heroic efforts to overcome it. We meet a Cambodian teen sold into sex slavery, an Ethiopian woman crippled in childbirth, and others who, with a little help, transform their lives. This urgent call to action reveals how unleashing women's potential is not just a moral imperative, but the best strategy to fight poverty worldwide.
