The Moment of Lift

For the last twenty years, Melinda Gates has been on a mission she's 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, you need to stop keeping women down."

In The Moment of Lift, Melinda shares lessons she's learned from the inspiring people during her work and travels worldwide. 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." we want all of us to see ways we can lift women where we live.

Startling data back Melinda's unforgettable narrative. She presents the issues that most need our attention―from child marriage to lack of 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 marriage. Throughout, she shows there has never been more opportunity to change the world―and ourselves.

Writing with emotion, honesty, and grace, she introduces us to remarkable women and shows the power of connecting. President Barack Obama said, "In her book, Melinda tells the stories of the inspiring people she's met through her work all over the world, digs into the data, and powerfully illustrates issues that need our attention from child marriage to gender inequity in the workplace."
