Nurturing the Nations: Reclaiming the Dignity of Women in Building Healthy Cultures

by Darrow L. Miller, Stan Guthrie (With)

Overview

Our world is filled with nations that are impoverished largely because half of their people—the female population—are disenfranchised. But this is not just a book about women; it is a book that deals with the intersection of three seemingly very different subjects: women, poverty and world view.
