"Global in scope, Created Equal combines facts, anecdotes, and voices from far-flung places, ethnic origins, and social strata to pierce our hearts and call us to account. Every person who claims to be a citizen of the world must read this book. Every person who claims a conscience will be compelled to act on what they learn." - Dorothy Allred Solomon, author of In My Father's House and The Sisterhood

Caracteristici
FIRST BOOK IN IMPORTANT NEW SERIES: Palgrave is publishing this book with Amnesty International as part of a broad international trade series about rights issues. This title is part of the series' first season, which will attract a lot of media attention
The Palgrave Macmillan/Amnesty International series aims to bring focus to the greatest human rights issues facing the world today. From human trafficking to poverty, terrorism to freedom of expression, this important series will examine the current situation, the path we took to get here and solutions for the future
HUGE BRAND: Amnesty International is perhaps the most famous NGO in the world. On the marketing and publicity side, we will have the full cooperation of both Amnesty's U.S. and U.K. offices. They will promote the book in their newsletters, in email blasts to their thousands of members, on their websites and in events on both sides of the Atlantic
HOT TOPIC: The Rights of Women explores the fragility of women's rights and exposes the gaps that are still left. Without such coverage, advances could quickly be lost again in the face of current political, economic and social changes. Though there are many books out there on feminism and women's rights, most are academic in focus and the shelf is lacking a good trade book delving into the current international state of women's rights
