Summary of "The Moment of Lift" by Melinda Gates | Free Audiobook
Learn how empowering women has the power to change the world.
Throughout decades of philanthropic work, Melinda Gates has learned an important lesson: If you want to lift a society up, you need to stop keeping women down. Gender equality is becoming a more powerful social issue in our world. As we see women begin to speak out against pay inequality and sexual harassment, and with movements like the #MeToo movement, gender equality has become a powerful topic throughout the world. However, while many societies are taking strides toward closing the gap between the rights of men and women, many countries still struggle with hardships like poverty which makes it near impossible for women to escape the lives their society forces upon them. Leading the journey towards women's equality is Melinda Gates, who helped create the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to discover the many hardships that women across the world struggle with on a daily basis. The charity has now become one of the largest charitable foundations in the world, and while her efforts have sparked global change, she recognizes the strides that must be made to enact further change. Many places around the world still have a long way to go. As you read, you’ll learn firsthand how empowering women can change the world with stories of the many women whose lives have changed through Melinda's work in education, healthcare, and funding.
