Book: The War on Women

Sue Lloyd-Roberts’ book tells of the atrocities inflicted on women around the world and the stories of those who fight back. Each chapter tells a story from a different country. It is shocking to read about the devastating way women were treated even at home in Ireland, as Ireland’s treatment of women up until very recently put it among some of the worst in the world. It’s a real eye-opener. It was given to me by my mum with the instructions to “read it and pass it on”.
