\'We need this message more than ever\' - Malala Yousafzai\n\nThe right to:\nSpend your own money. Go to school. Earn an income. Access contraceptives. Work outside the home. Walk outside the home. Choose whom to marry. Get a loan. Start a business. Own property. Divorce a husband. See a doctor. Drive a car.\nAll of these rights are denied to women in some parts of the world.\n\nThe Moment of Lift is the Sunday Times bestselling debut from Melinda Gates, a timely and necessary call to action for women\'s empowerment.\n\n\'How can we summon a moment of lift for human beings - and especially for women? Because when you lift up women, you lift up humanity.\'\n\nFor 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.\n\nIn this moving and compelling book, Melinda shares the stories of the inspiring people she\'s met during her work and travels around the world and the lessons she\'s learned from them. 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.\n\nMelinda\'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.\n\nWriting with emotion, candour, and grace, she introduces us to remarkable women and shows the power of connecting with one another.\n\nWhen we lift others up, they lift us up, too.
