In this compelling and powerful book, Melinda Gates shares the lessons she's learned from the inspiring people she's met during her travels. From victims of child marriage, to mothers who want contraceptives, to girls fighting for an education, these are stories of women who are quietly shaking the world. Through her work, Melinda learns that there has never been more opportunity to change the world - and ourselves. By helping to remove the roadblocks that stop so many women achieving their full potential, we can make a real difference that spans communities and lasts generations. Throughout Melinda's journey, one thing becomes increasingly clear: If you want to lift a society up, you need to stop keeping women down. Writing with emotion, candour and grace, she introduces us to remarkable women and shows the power of connecting with one another. When you lift up women, you lift up humanity.
