Review:
Praise for Ascent of Women:
#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER
"For every tragic, no-hope-for-humanity-level injustice in Ascent of Women, there's a corresponding story of triumph." Rosemary Counter, The Globe and Mail
"Armstrong writes that women in the Congo, in Senegal, in India, in Pakistan and other countries the world over are questioning their oppression and banding together to make positive change.... Armstrong's stories are difficult to hear, but do contain grains of hope." The Vancouver Sun
