HALF THE SKY:
Turning Oppression
into Opportunity for Women Worldwide
by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn
In honor of Women's History Month in March, The Booksmith
has teamed up with the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network to co-host a book
club event discussing Kristof and WuDunn's recent book Half the Sky.
Whether you've read the book, are an activist for female empowerment, or just
want to learn more about an awakening topic, join nonprofit professionals and
global activists and thinkers for this provocative evening. Refreshments
to follow.
YNPN’s guest speakers
this evening will be Heather Murphy,
who currently works for the Women in Technology Program with the Institute of
International Education where she manages the program in six countries in the
Middle East and North Africa providing oversight of in-country staff and
partners, trainings and project implementation; and Deborah Goldberg, who currently works as Development Associate at
International Development Exchange, a nonprofit grantmaking organization that
promotes sustainable solutions to poverty in six countries in Africa, Asia and
Latin America focused on women's empowerment, building local economies and care
for the environment.
