Melinda French Gates is a philanthropist, businesswoman, and global advocate for women and girls.
As the co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Melinda sets the direction and priorities of the world's largest philanthropy. She is also the founder of Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation company working to drive social progress for women and families in the United States.
Melinda grew up in Dallas, Texas. She received a bachelor's degree in computer science from Duke University and an MBA from Duke's Fuqua School. Melinda spent the first decade of her career developing multimedia products at Microsoft before leaving the company to focus on her family and philanthropic work. She lives in Seattle, Washington with her husband, Bill. They have three children, Jenn, Rory, and Phoebe.
For 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.
In this moving and compelling book, Melinda shares lessons she’s learned from the inspiring people she’s met during her work and travels around the world. 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.
Writing with emotion, candor, and grace, she introduces us to remarkable women and shows the power of connecting with one another.
When we lift others up, they lift us up, too.
说来惭愧,读了Melinda的《The moment of lift》,才算清楚地明白了基金会为什么会介入Gender Equality的议题,也明白了它为什么会和农业项目、普惠金融项目全并到一起,成为平行于“全球健康”、“全球发展”的第三个部门,并被命名为“全球增长机会”(Global Growth Oppotun...
評分The subtitle ‘how empowering women changes the world’ sounds as if empowering women needs further justification, a grander reason than because women are marginalized and suppressed by all means. Women need to be empowered to have equal opportunities just ...

評分梅琳達·蓋茨是一個精神世界豐富的實乾傢。
评分這本書主要集中寫瞭蓋茨基金的女主理人Melinda經曆。傾聽印度女性工作者的部分都讓我快心碎瞭。很鼓勵關心邊緣化,女性,醫療的話題的人,去看這本書。
