评分The subtitle ‘how empowering women changes the world’ sounds as if empowering women needs further justification, a grander reason than because women are marginalized and suppressed by all means. Women need to be empowered to have equal opportunities just ...
评分 评分说来惭愧,读了Melinda的《The moment of lift》,才算清楚地明白了基金会为什么会介入Gender Equality的议题,也明白了它为什么会和农业项目、普惠金融项目全并到一起,成为平行于“全球健康”、“全球发展”的第三个部门,并被命名为“全球增长机会”(Global Growth Oppotun...

For the last twenty years, Melinda Gates has been on a mission to find solutions for people with the most urgent needs, wherever they live. Throughout this journey, one thing has become increasingly clear to her: If you want to lift a society up, you need to stop keeping women down.
In this moving and compelling book, Melinda shares lessons she’s learned from the inspiring people she’s met during her work and travels around the world. 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.
Writing with emotion, candor, and grace, she introduces us to remarkable women and shows the power of connecting with one another.
When we lift others up, they lift us up, too.
how to empower women would be my lifetime pursuit
评分爱生慈悲,爱是解药,多数人得不到~
评分断断续续读了很久才读完,到了最后也觉得“不痛不痒”。这类型的书想让每个读者产生共鸣自然不容易,但这本书里关于落后国家的女性面对的问题让人难以想象,关于发达国家的精英女性面对的问题又太老生常谈。阅读过程中经常会想到家里年迈的老人,尤其是外婆和奶奶,起早贪黑地劳作养家,她们的精神真的很激励人!
评分“If you want to lift up humanity, empower women.” 篇幅不长但用了很多Melinda在Gates Foundation和微软工作时与生活中的经历和例子很全面地展现了全球女性在生活工作传统文化婚姻中遭受的不公,以及应该如何做才能更好地改变现状,教育移情合作由内而外的改变等,文风简单温和但观点健全有力;朋友作为贫困二代移民因成绩优异拿到Gates奖学金完成大学学业并回到孟加拉的女子大学任教,回美后又继续深造拿到Women's Studies的MA,形成良性循环-改变从自身开始,但仍需社会观念的革新和各方力量的帮助。
