'We need this message more than ever' – Malala Yousafzai
The right to: Spend your own money. Go to school. Earn an income. Access contraceptives. Work outside the home. Walk outside the home. Choose whom to marry. Get a loan. Start a business. Own property. Divorce a husband. See a doctor. Drive a car. All of these rights are denied to women in some parts of the world.
A Sunday Times bestselling debut from Melinda Gates, a timely and necessary call to action for women's empowerment.
'How can we summon a moment of lift for human beings – and especially for women? Because when you lift up women, you lift up humanity.'
In this moving and compelling book, Melinda shares the stories of the inspiring people she’s met during her work and travels around the world and the lessons she’s learned from them. As she writes in the introduction, “That is why I had to write this book – to share the stories of people who have given focus and urgency to my life. I want all of us to see ways we can lift women up where we live.”
Melinda’s unforgettable narrative is backed by startling data as she presents the issues that most need our attention – from child marriage to lack of access to contraceptives to gender inequity in the workplace. And, for the first time, she writes about her personal life and the road to equality in her own marriage. Throughout, she shows how there has never been more opportunity to change the world – and ourselves.
When we lift others up, they lift us up, too.
This audiobook now includes a new afterword.

It starts slow and gets exiciting. Makes you feel that you are not alone. Cleary communicates that we are stronger together

I was very impressed by this book and how it discussed a lot of important issues and causes and especially the way in which the author acknowledges her privilege and the fact that its import to listen to the locals and the people affected by certain issues rather than coming in and force-implementing what you think is best. There were great examples of people from communities working together and coming up with solutions. All in all very nicely handled.

I wish there were more stars to give! Can’t recommend this book enough. The way Melinda analyzes the topics she is focusing on and explains her thoughts and experiences in the most clear and structured way is mind-blowing. So much respect!!
