The biggest point I believe that the author is trying to get across is that women have the ability and the power to really change the world for the better. In this book they are looked down upon in the government and on the social radar. what the author is doing is he is trying to bring the audience to the awareness of what is going on in other countries with women's rights in other countries. We as Americans should really step up and encourage other countries to stop treating the women of their county the way they are currently. Women can, and have proved they can be a vital part of a well run government and other countries need to realize that.
