Download or read book Reaching for the Sky Empowering Girls Through Education written by Urvashi Sahni and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transforming the Lives of Impoverished Girls in Patriarchal Societies Since 2003 a privately funded high school in India has provided desperately needed education for girls from impoverished families in Lucknow, the capital and largest city in Uttar Pradesh. Urvashi Sahni, the founder of Prerna Girls School, has written a compelling narrative of how this modest school in northeast India has changed the lives of more than 5,000 girls and their families. Most important, it is through the perspectives of the girls themselves, rather than through a remote academic viewpoint, that Prerna’s success unfolds. The book focuses on the importance of education in bringing about gender equality in a patriarchal society. It shows how girls learn to be equal and autonomous persons in school as part of their official curriculum and how they use this learning to transform their lives and those of their families. The book’s central argument is that education can be truly transformative if it addresses the everyday reality of girls’ lives and responds to their special needs and challenges with respect and care. The example of just one relatively small school in one corner of India, the message and the stories it tells will inspire anyone concerned about the necessity of girls’ education, especially in developing countries. The lives of the girls at Prerna Girls School are largely representative of those of millions living in poor regions in countries where patriarchal structures and norms prevail.

Download or read book Women in Foreign Policy written by Nancy E. McGlen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-19 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1993, this title provides a unique insight into the challenges faced by the women who shaped United States foreign policy at the time. The authors examine the "Gender Gap" in beliefs between men and women in the State and Defense departments. Highlighted by interviews with ten leading women in the field – including Jeane Kirkpatrick and Rozanne Ridgway, then the two highest ranking women in foreign policy – the book provides an intimate glimpse into the making of foreign policy during the Reagan administration. Based on 79 interviews with women and men senior executives in the departments of State and Defense, this title poses a number of key questions. Who are the women in the State and Defense Departments, and how do their background and lifestyle choices compare with those of their male colleagues? What problems do they confront in an attempt to influence policy in the international arena? Do the women on the inside make a difference in how policy is formulated or how the departments are managed? Are women by nature more peaceful than men? Will they alter the face of foreign policy? Or are they more likely to hold the same views as men? This title provided an important insight into these questions, and would have been provocative reading at the time of publication.

Book excerpt: This study focuses mainly on urban, middle class, educated, employed women in Japan and India because they are most likely to have been affected by social, economic and political changes. Though numerically small, they are the opinion formers. The study aims to find out how far education and employment empower women? To what extent is education an agent of social change? In order to do this, it will look at the following aspects: women s education, its growth and its quality; employment patterns; how far employment affects women s status within the family; problems women face in work situations; how far participation of women in activities outside home in the public sphere has changed their role and position in the family; the impact of modern technology on women s lives; the impact of various legislative measures and the role of women s voluntary organisations.
