Book Title: The Moments of lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World
Author: Melinda Gates
Date of release: April 2019
Moments of lift is a book written by Melinda Gate which is centered on her work as a woman and girls advocate and her firsthand experience with women across the globe…
It’s an eye-opener to the suffering, limitations, lacks and biases experienced by women and the amazing part about the book is the evidence of the proof of the wonderful results yielded by empowering women…
Moments of lift is in-depth in the fact that it captures the grievances of women around the world, especially in African countries where these biases are inherent in every aspect of women’s lives and in Indian, where women are being deprived of their rights, not just as woman, but as a human who is as well entitled to the fundamental human rights that every human is entitled to…
It talks deeply about women issues the society is overlooking, about deprivations that the society to a large extent has taken as a norm but is indeed an issue that needs immediate attention from everyone both male and female and it’s the job of everyone to empower women, create enabling platforms for them, awards them the merits deserved when they deserve them, and not deprive them of their reward for a job well done simply because they are women
If there’s one thing I’d say personally about this book…it’s a must-read for every woman out there, it’s a call, an awakening for every woman who is indeed ready for a lift!
This is an excerpt from the introduction which is really captivating and a message to everyone out there:
“The engines are
igniting; the earth is shaking;
we are rising. More than at any time in the past,
we have the knowledge and energy and moral insight to crack the patterns of
history.
We need the help of every advocate now.
Women and men. No one
should be left out. Everyone should be brought in.
Our call is to lift women up
—and when we come together in this cause, we are the lift.”
Again WE ARE THE LIFT
