This book is an urgent manifesto for an equal society where women are valued and recognized in all spheres of life. Most of all, it is a call for unity, inclusion and connection. We need this message more than ever.”―Malala Yousafzai “This book is a beautiful and concise mission statement on what we need to do to move society forward--continue to empower women. At every level and in all places women are truly the bedrock supporting their communities.”―Trevor Noah “Melinda Gates uplifts and inspires by weaving a narrative of fortitude and hope. She pushes us to challenge the status quo and never settle.” ―Mellody Hobson “The Moment of Lift is a book about gender equity and its golden thread is empathy.

A powerful, poignant, and ultimately humble call to arms." ― Tara Westover, author of the New York Times #1 bestseller EDUCATED
