We are revisiting some of the topics of the book Half the Sky by Kristof and WuDunn and considering new developments/ findings within the last 10 years. The November topic is “PROHIBITION and PROSTITUTION” (chapter 2 – related topics in chapters 1-4) . Deb Markello will lead the discussion. All are welcome to come.

This year, our Half the Sky study group is revisiting the 2009 book, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Kristof and WuDunn, to review their work and explore changes in women’s issues since the first year of our study group.

Help the Food Pantry: If you have extra paper grocery bags or plastic grocery bags, please bring them to a general AAUW meeting or the Half the Sky meeting. We will deliver them to the Elmhurst Yorkfield Food Pantry. These donated bags will mean fewer bags the food pantry will need to purchase.

To receive more information or If you would like to lead an exploration of a topic or if you would like to shop for supplies for the snack bags, please email Betty Laliberte.
