SPRING BOOK STUDY: The Moment of Lift

The author, Melinda Gates, is now making her life’s purpose and the key goal of the Melinda Gates Foundation to help empower women in the world. In her book she tells powerful stories of the real, everyday people she has met in this quest.

Melinda dedicates significant resources to understanding the complex factors that have allowed cultures to continue oppressing women for generations. She recognizes that effective solutions must involve and include awareness and education of women and men. We at West Hill have come to share this understanding that inequalities must be addressed by all, not only by the oppressed.

The first step toward change is awareness and education. This book sheds new light on the complexities of the problems and solutions. It shows how super rich, white American women can make a difference half a world away.
