CSWS Blog: Women’s Rights in a Global World
Have you seen our new CSWS blog, Women’s Rights in a Global World?
This blog accompanies our year-long series of symposia, lectures, and workshops related to the Lorwin Lectureship on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and was specifically inspired by the book Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.
Women’s Opportunity Worldwide (W.O.W.) is a vital part of this effort, helping us to bridge college and community, theory and practice, and to build and strengthen feminist theory and activism.
This blog will bring together scholars, students, and activists to discuss issues, events, and ideas related to women’s rights in a global world.
