Women’s educational situation globally is discouraging: 64 percent of all illiterate people world-wide (800 million) are women, and out of 65 developing nations only 50 percent have achieved gender parity in primary education, 20 percent in secondary education, and 8 percent in higher education . . . .

INSTITUTE SPOTLIGHT
 Women in Mali Film
The film, Women in Mali, fuses visual illustrations with oral and written research, presenting the multifaceted and heterogeneous lives of Malian women. These women create the social and economic backbone of the area, and in this film the Institute explores the role, struggles, and successes of these women. Of particular interest are the changes in the lives of women due to recent interventions from humanitarian organizations. The unexpected interplay between global compassion and local idiosyncracies presents a fascinating and spontaneous field study captured in our footage and findings. . . .

From Mesa, Arizona, Emily is an English major who "was always most attracted to literature written about and for women." Emily says she enjoys the interdisciplinary nature of the Women's Studies program and the opportunities for research. She is getting a minor in Women's Studies and in editing. According to Emily, "When I . . . begin graduate work I will learn even more that will help me to bless the lives of women.
