The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World, by Melinda French Gates
Based on Melinda French Gates’ recent commitment of $150M to remove barriers for women at work, January seems like the perfect time to explore, or begin again, her inspiring manifesto. This book reminds us how empowering women transforms the world, while encouraging us to reflect on our own moments of lift.
“As women gain rights, families flourish, and so do societies. That connection is built on a simple truth: Whenever you include a group that's been excluded, you benefit everyone. And when you're working globally to include women and girls, who are half of every population, you're working to benefit all members of every community. Gender equity lifts everyone. Women's rights and society's health and wealth rise together.” ― Melinda Gates
