October: You Gotta Read This!

Happy First Friday! It's time for this month's book club pick for You Gotta Read This! This month we're reading Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. As we come to the end of the Waking Up to the Patriarchy series on the main show, this book brings the real plight of women and girls into the light. It’s been called “a passionate call to arms against our era’s most pervasive human rights violation: the oppression of women and girls in the developing world.”You can find it in our Bookshop, along with all the other books we've ever recommended on the show. It's a great way to support local bookstores, and we get a small commission for all books purchased through the site.Let us know what you think.
