A debut from Melinda Gates, a timely and necessary proactive approach for women’s empowerment.

‘How can we summon a about AS SOON AS of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World moment of lift for humans – and especially for women? Since when you lift up ladies, you lift up mankind.’

Going back two decades, Melinda Gates has been on a mission to find solutions for those who have one of the most urgent requirements, wherever they live. Throughout this journey, one thing is becoming increasingly apparent to her: If you wish to lift a society up, you need to avoid keeping ladies down.

With this moving and compelling book, Melinda stocks lessons she’s discovered from the inspiring people she’s met during her function and travels all over the world. As she writes in the launch, “That is why I had to create this book – to talk about the stories of individuals who have given focus and urgency to my life. I want most of us to see ways we can lift females up where we live.”

Melinda’s unforgettable narrative is normally backed by startling data as she presents the problems that most need our interest – from child marriage to lack of usage of contraceptives to gender inequity at work. And, for the first time, she writes about her personal lifestyle and the street to equality in her own marriage. Throughout, she shows how there has never been even more opportunity to switch the world – and ourselves.

Writing with emotion, candour, and grace, she presents us to remarkable women and shows the power of hooking up with one another.

Whenever we lift others up, they lift us up, as well.
