Read this book! Do this thing!

So recently I read a book (a rarity with the amount of free time I have) called Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. And it was AWESOME. It's written by two Pulitzer-winning journalists, Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn (the latter once appeared on Colbert!), and it's phenomenal. Largely, what it's about is sex
