I just picked up the book Half the Sky today and am looking forward to pouring over it. I’m also very much looking forward to the film Half the Sky, which will be airing on PBS stations in October. (Find your local station here.)

Watch Women Are Not the Problem, They Are the Solution on PBS. See more from Independent Lens.

The conference call I’ve participated in and the promos I’ve seen have gotten me really excited about this film. I don’t think it’s possible to watch it without feeling moved to action. You can get involved too. Visit the Half The Sky Movement website to see how you can take action.

This post (+ my sharing on social media) was inspired by my participation in a compensated program initiated by Women Online/The Mission List to raise awareness about the Half the Sky. All commentary and opinions are, of course, my own.
