Women's rights have progressed significantly in the last two decades, but major challenges remain in order to end global gender discrimination. The unfinished revolution: Voices from the global fight for women's rights outlines the recent history of the battle to secure basic rights for women and girls, including in the Middle East where the hopes raised by the Arab Spring are yet to be fulfilled. This anthology opens with a foreword by Christiane Amanpour and features essays by more than 30 writers, activists, policymakers and human rights experts, including Nobel laureates Shirin Ebadi and Jody Williams. Most important are contributions from women who have fought against human rights abuses and have become agents of change. Contributors propose new workable solutions to ongoing rights violations including human trafficking and harmful traditional practices such as child marriage and female genital mutilation. As a whole, the book shows that the struggle for women's equality is far from over and is essential reading for everyone involved in the fight to realise the full potential for half the world's population.

I have often complained that feminists need to spend more time investigating issues that women face and less time arguing about theory. This anthology does just that. Its articles focus on current abuses of women in specific places. Many were written by activists directly involved in fighting to end the abuses. Several articles deal with abuses that have continued even as countries have become more democratic in the wake of the 2011 Arab Spring. They all point to the problem that even revolutionary changes often leave women behind. While globally women are gaining educational, economical and other rights, much remains in need of urgent change if they are to able to function.
