There isn't much Jimmy Carter hasn't written about. Whether it's aging or world peace, Carter tackles it with the same intellect, honesty and compassion he showed while President of the United States. Carter addresses the plight of women around the world, many of whom are victims of literal enslavement. The crimes committed against women by society are among the worst cases of discrimination imaginable, and A Call to Action is Jimmy Carter's way of saying, "Enough is enough!" This summary breaks down the key points from each chapter, and then gives you a list of overall take-away points.Carter received encouragement to write this book from a vast array of faith leaders. His research showed that no nation was immune, as women around the world are subjected to enslavement, child marriage, and the ongoing threat of violence and war. The cause of the suffering? According to Carter, the primary reason is that religious leaders knowingly omit certain passages to promote a belief that women are inferior. The testimony in A Call to Action is shocking at times, as women from across the globe tell the tales of their denial of equal rights. Female suffering affects all of us, and this summary closes with the overall questions that this book answers in great detail.
