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.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A debut from Melinda Gates, a timely and necessary call to action for women's empowerment.

"The Moment of Lift is an urgent call to courage. It changed how I think about myself, my family, my work, and what's possible in the world. Melinda weaves together vulnerable, brave storytelling and compelling data to make this one of those rare books that you carry in your heart and mind long after the last page." ―Brené Brown, Ph.D., author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Dare to Lead

"In her book, Melinda tells the stories of the inspiring people she's met through her work all over the world, digs into the data, and powerfully illustrates issues that need our attention―from child marriage to gender inequity in the workplace." ― President Barack Obama

"Melinda Gates has spent many years working with women around the world. 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

"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.

In this moving and compelling book, Melinda shares lessons she's learned from the inspiring people she's met during her work and travels around the world. As she writes in the introduction, "That is why I had to write this book―to share the stories of people who have given focus and urgency to my life. I want all of us to see ways we can lift women up where we live."

Melinda's unforgettable narrative is backed by startling data as she presents the issues that most need our attention―from child marriage to lack of access to contraceptives to gender inequity in the workplace. 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.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.
