A wake-up call to crises facing women around the world, told through the eyes of nine courageuos women. Includes hard-hitting 'Vital Statistics' files.
This is a simple yet powerful guide to women's issues around the world.

We hear about Kathryn, a deaf American who built a ministry to the deaf in Israel; Tammy, who set up businesses in nepal to help abused women and had to over-come difficultes such as the loss of her visa and former employees setting up a rival business; Pam, who lived and worked in war-racked Tajikstan, a country completely alien and unknown to Westerners; and Cindy who ended up returning as a missionary to Vietnam, a country from which she had had a dangerous escape as a teenager.
