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 tells us why empowering women and girls is the way forward, and in her new book, Uprising, she introduces us to the leading females who are making change happen, from Nobel Prize winners to little girls suing from justice.
In Uprising she documents the very real progress currently underway toward female empowerment in cultures where women must traditionally endure sexual violence, forced childhood marriage and rape, impoverishment from polygamy and related inheritance laws, plus lack of access to education or jobs. On our show we mix it up a little with questions from both Mrs. Future and I, as well as a host of KSCO callers. A very dynamic show, and will trigger many neurons in your brain.
Napa Valley Performing Arts Center at Lincoln Theater in conjunction with the Cameo Cinema, will be hosting a talk and book signing by author Sally Armstrong on Friday, September 25th, 2015. More details are here.
