'How empowering women changes the world'
Bravo, Melinda Gates! This was a very well-written, honest, and concise book. It's part memoir and set of short stories.
I especially enjoyed the chapter where Melinda described her own personal struggles of equality in her own marriage with Bill and the struggles and unfairness of unpaid work. She convinced Bill to drive the kids to school more often and he did. And then more dads started following suite.
Old habits die hard. Gender equality won't happen overnight. You need to take responsibility and set the standard, starting in your own household.
I am committed to the lift by continuing to support my wife in her career ambitions and taking on my share of unpaid work in the household.
