'We need this message more than ever' – Malala Yousafzai
The right to: Spend 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. All of these rights are denied to women in some parts of the world.
A Sunday Times bestselling debut from Melinda Gates, a timely and necessary call to action for women's empowerment.
'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.'
In 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.”
Melinda’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.
When we lift others up, they lift us up, too.
This audiobook now includes a new afterword.

Absolut et must read. Set i lyset af seneste lovændring af aborten i USA, står det klart, at selv i Vesten anno 2022, er det nødvendigt at værne om kvinders rettigheder. Mange steder i verden kæmper kvinder, for retten til at bestemme over eget liv og krop. Bogen er en øjenåbner for, hvilke kampe som dagligt udspiller sig for mange kvinder. Basale privilegier for os danskere, som mange kvinder blot drømmer om at have. Sammen står vi stærkest. Og selvom vi er langt fra målet, nævner bogen flere fremskridt, som gør det værd at kæmpe videre.

Fantastisk bog, som enhver kvinde og mand (!) burde læse! Melinda Gates er tillige en dygtig formidler, og det var en stor fornøjelse at lytte til hendes oplæsning af bogen! Fem stjerner!
