Each summer, incoming St. John’s University freshmen receive a
book to read. This year’s book is Half the Sky: Turning Oppression
into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, by Nicholas D. Kristof and
Sheryl WuDunn. Half the Sky offers a powerful argument for
understanding the depth of the oppression of women and girls
throughout the world, as well as strategies for putting an end to
such global human rights violations. Our Vincentian mission calls
us to address and act upon the causes of poverty and social
injustice in our global world.
