Shanie [Raksha] says:

Let me just say that a link needs to be created, as the book in question had several very good reviews, none of which are available on the kiosk.
Shanie [Raksha] says:

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that - this book was a particular concern to me due to my involvement in women's issues.
Shanie [Raksha] says:
