Drove down from Fort Worth to Austin today. Last night’s reading in Fort Worth was small — 14 people plus your author — but actually calming, fun. I had people sit in a circle in the TCU Barnes & Noble cafe. ...

Brazos Bookstore One of the greatest challenges of this century is the brutality inflicted on many women and girls around the globe: sex trafficking, acid attacks, bride burnings, and mass rape. But it is not only the women being hurt. Countries that marginalize women are disproportionately afflicted by poverty, extremism, and chaos.

Kr...istof takes us on a journey showing how small amounts of targeted aid have turned oppression into opportunity. He and many others have awakened to an important truth: Women’s empowerment is the solution.

Nicholas D. Kristof, a columnist for The New York Times since 2001, is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner who writes op-ed columns that appear twice a week. Mr. Kristof has lived on four continents, reported on six, and traveled to more than 140 countries, plus all 50 states, every Chinese province and every main Japanese island. Mr. Kristof has taken a special interest in Web journalism and was the first blogger on The New York Times web site. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard College and then studied law at Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship, graduating with first-class honors.

A copy of Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn will be included in the ticket price for this event.

Half the Sky: From Oppression to Opportunity for Women Worldwide
Time:4:00PM Sunday, October 25th
