Author and Women for Women International supporter, Lisa Shannon has released her new award-winning book, A Thousand Sisters, in paperback. The book chronicles Lisa’s transformation from mere supporter to leader of a mass movement for Congolese women; as it shares stories of the world's deadliest war and crimes committed against women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Lisa’s book captures the essence of why the DRC has been noted as what she calls, “…the worst place on Earth to be a woman” as well as the heart-touching accounts of friendship and bonds formed through a shared struggle for respect, dignity, freedom, independence, and equal rights.
The paperback version has a new epilogue as well as a guide for book clubs which would be perfect for YWTF chapters to consider for an upcoming book club selection. To learn more about the book and Lisa Shannon click here. To purchase the book visit: A Thousand Sisters
