DESCRIPTION:From Outrage to Courage\nWomen Taking Action for Health and 
 Justice\n\n"Anne Firth Murray's new book is three things at once: a 
 catalogue of abuses, an analysis of their causes and consequences, and a 
 chronicle of courage under fire."  From the Foreword by Paul 
 Farmer.\n\nAnne herself says, "I describe this outrage, the darkness of 
 persistent poverty and the low status of women, and the scandalous 
 injustices that ravage the health of poor women in many poorer countries. 
 Yet there is another side to this story. Change is possible, brought on by 
 the courage of women to shine a light in the darkness and take action. 
 These efforts are represented here by the poetry of women and the work of 
 women's groups."\n\nFrom sex-selective abortions to millions of girls who 
 are "disappeared," from 90 million girls who do not go to school to 
 HIV/AIDS spreading fastest among adolescent girls, women face unique health 
 challenges, writes Anne Firth Murray. In this searing cradle-to-grave 
 review, Murray tackles health issues from prenatal care to challenges faced 
 by aging women. Looking at how gender inequality affects basic nutrition, 
 Murray makes clear the issues are political more than they are 
 medical.\n\nIn an inspiring look, From Outrage to Courage shows how women 
 are organizing the world over. Women's courage to transform their 
 situations and communities provides inspiration and models for change. From 
 China to India, from Indonesia to Kenya, Anne Firth Murray takes readers on 
 a whirlwind tour of devastation-and resistance.\n\nAnne Firth Murray, is 
 the Founding President of the Global Fund for Women and a Consulting 
 Professor at Stanford University. She is the author of the highly acclaimed 
 PARADIGM FOUND: Leading and Managing for Positive Change.\n
