Annie Clark, a.k.a. St. Vincent, recently joined in promoting "Half the Sky," a book that became a movement that seeks to empower women worldwide. She offered her song, "Cheerleader," for the cause. Her comment is below.

Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn . "Anything we can do to raise consciousness and help end the oppression of women worldwide is a cause I am fully behind. I chose the track 'Cheerleader' because I think it speaks to not wanting to be an idle object anymore. It’s about taking control of your own life and not kowtowing to the desires of others."
