The Hillary Doctrine: Sex and American Foreign Policy by Valerie M. Hudson, Patricia Leidl

This is an outstanding account on what came to be known as Hillary Doctrine. This doctrine basically states that the subjugation of women is a threat to the national security of the United States. The basic premise is that women are vital partners of men in any nation, and putting them in a low status is an issue which should never be underestimated.

The book is thoroughly researched as any readers can see on the notes by the end of the book. The notes itself comprise of more than a hundred pages. Truly this book makes the case on why every nation should take the issue of women more seriously. But more importantly this work also shows how we can further support this very important doctrine.

As you read this book, you will see the politics behind this idea and the stories of women as they suffer the brutal, harsh and evil on earth conditions in their respective nation. I never thought that certain barbaric conditions are still happening today. I never imagined that an old lady's arm was chopped just because she accidentally exposed some parts of her arms while riding a bus. Oh, cmon! Only a devil can do that.

Aside from those gruesome tales, this book also take us to many ways in which USAID help and contribute to the welfare of women. We will also know things that are not so good with the organization, hence, improvement must be established.

If you love any woman in your life, especially if you are a man, you must read this book.
