Books

WuDunn has co-authored with her husband, ' and ', two non-fiction Asian studies books which examine the cultural, social, and political situation of East Asia largely through interviews and personal experiences.

In May 2007, it was announced that WuDunn would leave the "Times" to co-write another book with Kristof:

"Her first project will be to co-write another book — with guess who? (that would be Nick Kristof, of course) — about women in the developing world. Sheryl and Nick already have co-authored two books about Asia, and of course she has won several major journalism awards.

The new book is tentatively titled either "It Takes a Woman," or "Lost Daughters," and Sheryl says, “I’m looking forward to reporting for the book, maybe even wading through a rice paddy here or there. Those on-the-ground experiences will be particularly special because they will be my last such ones. After that, I will be leaving journalism.” ["Sheryl WuDunn Departing." "Ahead of the Times", 4 May 2007.]
