New York, N.Y. Simon & Schuster, 2014. First Simon & Schuster Hardcover Edition [stated]. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. viii, [2], 211, [3] pages. Signed bookplate by Jimmy Carter, on the front free endpaper. Includes Introduction, Acknowledgments, and Index. Chapters include My Childhood; Commitment to Peace and Women's Rights; The Bible and Gender Equality; Full Prisons and Legal Killing; Sexual Assault and Rape; Violence and War; Observations as a Traveler; Women and the Carter Center; Learning from Human Rights Heroes; The Genocide of Girls; Rape; Slavery and Prostitution; Spouse Abuse; "Honor" Killings; Genital Cutting; Child Marriage and Dowry Deaths; Politics, Pay, and Maternal Health; The Road to Progress. This book addresses the suffering inflicted upon women by a false interpretation of carefully selected religious texts and a growing tolerance of violence and warfare. Key verses are often omitted or quoted out of context by male religious leaders to exalt the status of men and exclude women. President Carter draws on his own experiences and on the testimony of courageous women from all regions and all major religions to demonstrate that women around the world, more than half of all human beings, are being denied equal rights. This is an informed and passionate charge about a devastating effect on economic prosperity and unconscionable human suffering which affects us all. More
