About this audiobook
Women and girls across the world are often made to feel as if the challenges, limitations, and barriers they face are personal, belonging to them alone. When, in fact, they affect us all. The issues are systemic, societal, and global – and we have the power to create change.
In Who Runs the World?, author Lois Quam emphasizes the need to unlock the immense potential of women and girls globally. Quam argues that empowering women is the long-needed step for justice and the progress needed to address the growing challenges we face today.
Throughout the book, she speaks to the barriers – personal and systemic – that block the humanity and talent of half the all the world’s people – women.
Who Runs the World? sheds light on the path to change and the vital role women and girls play in addressing global challenges. Join the movement to unlock all the world’s talent and contribute to a more equitable and thriving world.
