Girl Power: Educating Girls in the 21st Century

From the foreward: "This book presents compelling evidence of the challenges for educa-tional development and the determining factors for gender inequalities— in education particularly and society more broadly.It also presents examples of country-level experiences that help us understand issues and reaffirm the business case for investing more in female education. The book is a useful reference for researchers,policy makers,and development practitioners.We hope that the key messages,examples,and recommendations summarized in its chapters will help countries implement strategic policies and actions to accelerate the move toward gender equality and the empowerment of women by 2015."
