A Call to Action

I highly recommend that you read Jimmy Carter's (yes, former president of the United States) book A Call to Action:  Women, Religion, Violence, and Power.  He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the various women's issues he covers, including rape, genital cutting, spouse abuse, politics, pay and many others.  He takes us around the world and in our own backyard; seeking to understand how women are treated within different religious contexts.  Mr. Carter pulls no punches, even when it means that his criticism belongs to the United States and other developed countries.  More information about The Carter Center and the work they do at www.cartercenter.org.
