"We men have had our turn and made a proper mess of things. We need women
to save us." Archbishop Desmond Tutu Within the pages of this lovingly, idealistically
and passionately written book lies a collection of essays: pleas for world
peace and an end to animal cruelty, calls for us to tread more lightly on
what is, after all, our only home and a finite resource, and descriptions
of environmental activism and acts of heroism the world over. With contributions
from Anita Roddick, Jilly Cooper, Rosie Boycott and Margaret Drabble, A
Woman's Guide to Saving the World is published on International Women's
Day.
