Overcoming poverty and oppression: empowering women around the world

What are the biggest moral challenges we face today? We’re joined by two people who have given a lot of thought to cultural challenges around the world, including poverty, racism, and the systematic oppression of women. Nick Kristof is a columnist for The New York Times, and his wife Sheryl WuDunn a former New York Times correspondent.

They are authors of the new book ?Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide,? and wrote the article in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, “The Women’s Crusade.”
