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.

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。
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
评分“The supreme goal for humanity is not equality but connection.”
评分Melinda Gates is a humble and sensible philanthropist, understand the deepest meaning of philanthropy: All lives have equal value. She let me know that I am no less and no more. And more importantly, I need to find my own voice.
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...
