Goodreads asked Sally Armstrong:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Sally Armstrong As a journalist I have been covering what happens to women and girls in zones of conflict for 25 years. I haven't had a good news story to tell. About four years ago I began to feel the earth was shifting under the status of women. At first I thought maybe it was wishful thinking on my part but I did the research and found out that all the work women have done in seeking equality over all the years (indeed centuries) was finally paying off. The experts in my research claimed that altering the status of women would reduce poverty, cut conflict and even improve the economy. I wanted to dive into that data and find out exactly what it meant. The result - Uprising: A New Age is Dawning for Every Mother's Daughter.
