Global Book Corner
Welcome to the Global Book Corner! Each month, we will share a book in SI's monthly newsletter, Global Voice, that explores an issue relating to the work of SI.
This month's book is "A Women, Once A Girl - Beyond Pain to Advocacy and Hope" by Betty Makoni.
Betty Makoni, Founder and Director of Girl Child Network Zimbabwe and Chief Executive Officer of Girl Child Network Worldwide, has published a new poetry book. Her poetry book is a forerunner to her much-awaited official biography. The poems are real-life experiences: Her mother experiencing domestic violence, and Betty, aged just six, who urged her to seek help. A few years later her mother died after heavy beatings from her husband. It led Betty Makoni to be a mother to her siblings aged only nine. Her poetry book takes a new approach to self-empowerment by breaking a culture of silence in poetic prose and short stories.
If you have a novel, memoir or biography you'd like to recommend for the Global Voice book corner, then please let us know! Email global.voice@soroptimistinternational.org, tweet us using #SIBook or leave a facebook message.
