No hay vuelta atrás: El poder de las mujeres para cambiar el mundo / The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World


Book Description

Una llamada a la acción para empoderar a las mujeres y cambiar el mundo. «En su libro, Melinda cuenta las historias de las personas inspiradoras con las que trabaja en el mundo, profundiza en los datos y crea cuestiones poderosamente importantes que necesitan nuestra atención desde la infancia hasta la inequidad de género en el lugar de trabajo.» - Presidente Barack Obama «No hay vuelta atrás es un llamamiento urgente a la valentía. Ha cambiado la percepción que tengo de mí misma, de mi familia, de mi trabajo y de lo que es posible y no lo es en este mundo. Melinda aúna un relato vulnerable y valiente con distintos datos convincentes para crear uno de esos escasos libros que sigue en tu mente y corazón incluso después de haberlo terminado.» - Brené Brown, autora de Los dones de la imperfección. Durante los últimos veinte años, Melinda Gates se ha dedicado a buscar soluciones para las personas de cualquier lugar con mayores necesidades. Durante esa época, fue comprendiendo que, si queremos que la sociedad despegue, hay que dejar de oprimir a las mujeres. En este libro conmovedor y convincente, Melinda comparte las lecciones que ha aprendido de las personas que la han inspirado y a quienes ha conocido en su trabajo y viajes por todo el mundo. Como dice en la introducción, «Por eso tenía que escribir este libro: para compartir la historia de aquellas personas que me han ayudado a centrarme y a priorizar. Me gustaría que todos encontráramos maneras de ayudar a las mujeres en cualquier lugar del mundo». Melinda nos ofrece un discurso inolvidable, respaldado por datos alarmantes, donde nos presenta los problemas que requieren nuestra mayor atención: desde el matrimonio infantilhasta la falta de acceso a los anticonceptivos o la desigualdad de género en el lugar de trabajo. Además, Melinda escribe por primera vez sobre su vida personal y el camino recorrido hasta la igualdad en su propio matrimonio y nos muestra que nunca habían existido tantas oportunidades como ahora para cambiar el mundo y a nosotros mismos. Con emoción, franqueza y elegancia, Melinda nos presenta mujeres extraordinarias y nos demuestra la fuerza resultante de la conexión entre ellas. En un momento en el que ya no hay vuelta atrás en el empoderamiento de las mujeres, Melinda Gates nos anima a seguir avanzando porque, cuando ayudamos a que los demás despeguen, nosotros también despegamos. Y cuando las mujeres despegan, la humanidad entera despega.

We need this message more than ever.” ― Malala Yousafzai "Melinda Gates's book is a lesson in listening. A powerful, poignant, and ultimately humble call to arms." ― Tara Westover, author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Educated “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.

And, for the first time, she writes about her personal life and the road to equality in her own marriage. Throughout, she shows how there has never been more opportunity to change the world―and ourselves. Writing with emotion, candor, and grace, she introduces us to remarkable women and shows the power of connecting with one another. When we lift others up, they lift us up, too.

Finding Freedom


Book Description

**New York Times Bestseller** From Erin French, owner of the critically acclaimed The Lost Kitchen, a TIME world dining destination, a life-affirming memoir about survival, renewal, and finding a community to lift her up Long before The Lost Kitchen became a world dining destination with every seating filled the day the reservation book opens each spring, Erin French was a girl roaming barefoot on a 25-acre farm, a teenager falling in love with food while working the line at her dad’s diner and a young woman finding her calling as a professional chef at her tiny restaurant tucked into a 19th century mill. This singular memoir—a classic American story—invites readers to Erin's corner of her beloved Maine to share the real person behind the “girl from Freedom” fairytale, and the not-so-picture-perfect struggles that have taken every ounce of her strength to overcome, and that make Erin’s life triumphant. In Finding Freedom, Erin opens up to the challenges, stumbles, and victories that have led her to the exact place she was ever meant to be, telling stories of multiple rock-bottoms, of darkness and anxiety, of survival as a jobless single mother, of pills that promised release but delivered addiction, of a man who seemed to offer salvation but in the end ripped away her very sense of self. And of the beautiful son who was her guiding light as she slowly rebuilt her personal and culinary life around the solace she found in food—as a source of comfort, a sense of place, as a way of bringing goodness into the world. Erin’s experiences with deep loss and abiding hope, told with both honesty and humor, will resonate with women everywhere who are determined to find their voices, create community, grow stronger and discover their best-selves despite seemingly impossible odds. Set against the backdrop of rural Maine and its lushly intense, bountiful seasons, Erin reveals the passion and courage needed to invent oneself anew, and the poignant, timeless connections between food and generosity, renewal and freedom.
