Women, Development, and the UN is a book that every global citizen, government leader, journalist, academic, and self-respecting woman should read."" -- Gloria Steinem""Devaki Jain's book nurtures your optimism in this terrible war-torn decade by describing how women succeeded in empowering both themselves and the United Nations to work toward a global leadership inspiration |
