Good Book: Half the Sky

I recently read the book, Half the Sky, by authors Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. It is about turning oppression into opportunity for women worldwide and about efforts to stimulate change in the Arab world.

This is a pretty  powerful statement from Soraya Salti, a 37 yr old Jordanian woman promoting entrepreneurship in schools, "If you can capture the youth and change the way they think, then you can change the future." This quote should give all of us food for thought as we strive to teach and promote entrepreneurship to the younger generations.
