Toni posted this article on facebook already, but if you get a chance you should check it out since it is particularly relevant to our conversation yesterday on Sheryl WuDunn. It is a Washington Post editorial from Jessica Valenti discussing why it is so much easier for us to recognize the problems women face in other parts of the world than admit that that "equality is still an illusion" for American women.  

Also, this is a link to a feministing.com review of Half the Sky, and as Toni mentioned yesterday, it articulates many of the concerns we had about the book.
