“The tide of history is turning women from beasts of burden and sexual play things into full-fledged human beings,” Kristof and WuDunn conclude. “Before long, we will consider sex slavery, honor killings, and acid attacks as unfathomable as foot-binding. The question is how long that transformation will take and how many girls will be kidnapped into brothels before it is complete – and whether each of us will be part of that historical movement, or a bystander.”
