What I'm Reading Tuesday

I'm linking up with Judy L about this book:

I'd really like to be able to pretend that this is a work of fiction, but I know it for truth.  It's an important piece about a subject that I'm passionate about- the lives of women around the world.  I'm very passionate about the education and empowerment of women and girls, especially in 3rd world countries because of the "Girl Effect".  Read it and weep, then help.  I'm a widow on a fixed income but I'm contributing to girl's education in a small financial way, which I hope to be able to expand soon.  Putting my money where my mouth is.
