The second half: time for a new feminism

A call to all women to take matters into their own hands Politician and author Assita Kanko brings a book that perfectly suits her vibrant personality: a committed and convincing call for a new feminism. Anyone who has not yet heard of Assita Kanko will no longer be able to ignore her after this book. In De tweede breuk (The Second Half), the Brussels politician mixes testimonies from her own world with hard facts and figures about the role of women in our society. Her compelling message: women, 'the second half', are still not sufficiently valued. Kanko touches on numerous themes, from the glass ceiling to domestic violence but also female circumcision, of which she herself was a victim in her native country Burkina Faso. The result is a call that will not leave anyone unmoved.
