The Moment of Lift

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 support and advocate women’s rights. In this compelling and moving book, Melinda shares poignant stories about the women she’s met during her work and travels around the world. She writes in the introduction, “That is why I had to write this book―to share the stories of people who have inspired me with their passion, courage and resilience. I hope that readers will be moved by these stories and inspired to lend their voices to support women’s equality. ”
