Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide is a nonfiction book by husband and wife team Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn published by Knopf in September 2009.[1] The book argues that the oppression of women worldwide is "the paramount moral challenge" of the present era, much as the fight against slavery was in the past.[2] The title comes from the 1968 statement by Mao Zedong "妇女能顶半边天", meaning "women hold up half the sky", though the authors cite it only as a "Chinese proverb".
