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.
Sincere. Stories in the book, esp. the last chapter, is very helpful to me in this difficult time when I see wrong but have no power to right it.
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。
评分梅琳达·盖茨是一个精神世界丰富的实干家。
评分写得还不错 可以在茶余饭后 需要uplift一下道德情操时候听一听
评分有很多insightful的故事,family planning和宗教之间的conflict很有趣。叙述稍微有一些啰嗦
