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.
还蛮好看的,让女性拥有更平等的权利,得到更多的教育工作机会,尤其是从繁重而不能自主的生育枷锁中解脱,无论是对个体小家庭还是社会这个大集体,都是有利无弊的。我一直没想过,在今天,在很多贫穷的地方,让女性能得到避孕的药物/方式就已经这么艰难。尽管现在女性的生存现状也并不理想,但是回头看,其实真正的解放之路才走了几十年,在1965年美国才允许已婚妇女得到避孕药,而对未婚女性到1973年才能合法得到避孕药。在此之前,开处方、提出避孕建议、给避孕药做广告、甚至谈论避孕都有被告上法庭的风险。人们(男性)认为女性不以怀孕为目的的性行为就是放荡的不道德的。生来带着子宫卵巢就仿佛拥有了原罪。long way to go。
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。
评分这本书主要集中写了盖茨基金的女主理人Melinda经历。倾听印度女性工作者的部分都让我快心碎了。很鼓励关心边缘化,女性,医疗的话题的人,去看这本书。
评分爱生慈悲,爱是解药,多数人得不到~
评分相比男性,当女性获得资源,会更多的反馈回家庭;所以想要改善一个群体,最好先提升群体中的女性。
