A must-read for all those interested in women’s welfare. Written by Melinda Gates, a forthright woman who gives her field-data driven opinions and is not afraid to cross swords with those who wish to deny family planning methods to women.

OutstandingThis book will open your heart and inspire you, will meet you where you’re at, and fill your heart with desire to create change. Melinda Gates’ voice comes through strong and clear in this book. Her words remind women that they are not alone in their struggles. I feel like her beautiful heart has been hiding in plain sight, and after reading her book I feel she’s a shining, bright, guiding star. Oprah needs to interview this woman and share her words with the world.
