H Devonya,
Here are three sources that address your student's topic, two perhaps
unexpected, the third not.
1. "Women as Agents of Geopolitical Change" (From pp. 16-17 of Global
Trends 2025: A Transformed World, released in November 2008 by the National
Intelligence Council, and available at
http://www.dni.gov/nic/NIC_2025_project.html)
2. There is a section on your student's topic in The Pentagon's New Map by
Thomas P.M. Barnett (an "American military geostrategist" -- i think he is
a neocon, but i'm not sure).
3. Nicholas Kristof address this topic in a March 4, 2010 column in The New
York Times, titled "Divorced Before Puberty."
I hope these resources are helpful for your student.

Hello everyone,
I am advising a thesis in which the student is looking to make an
argument that empowering women and girls, particularly in developing
nations, ultimately leads to an overall improvement in the conditions
for everyone. The topic is rather broad but i was wondering if anyone on
the list has done work in this area. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Please feel free to contact me off list at [log in to unmask]
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Devonya
