Nikki van der Gaag's book is read in one breath and really makes you think about a woman's place in the modern world. Family values are back in fashion, but are things going so well? We must not forget that two thirds of illiterate people are women, that 1,500 women die every day during childbirth or from their consequences, and one in three women in the world has suffered any kind of violence. It is in the hands of modern women to make a difference and bring about change for the sake of future wellbeing and prosperity.
