No hay vuelta atrás: El poder de las mujeres para cambiar el mundo

“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.”

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.

Melinda shares lessons she’s learned from the 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 narrative is backed by data as she presents issues including child marriage, lack of access to contraceptives, and gender inequity in the workplace. She also writes about her personal life and finding her voice.
