From Paris to New Delhi, via Boston and Kigali, a platform is given to six strong women determined to imagine the world of tomorrow.
"After can't be like before." "We'll learn every lesson from this unprecedented crisis." Innumerable appeals, a one-upmanship of promises and countless commitments. But how long will it last before we're back to business as usual? This time perhaps women will be brave enough to give the impossible a chance. So they had to be persuaded to speak out, to speak out together, not in one voice but in a chorus enriched by their differences. With contributions from: Arundhati Roy, the celebrated writer who risks her own life in her fight for human rights in India; Esther Duflo, Nobel Prize winner for economics; Isabelle Autissier, the first woman to complete a world solo navigation in competition, and CEO of WWF France; Godeli ve Mukasarasi, who was named an "International Woman of Courage" for her work during the Rwandan genocide; Fang Fang, the Chinese novelist whose Wuhan Diary has been read all over the world despite the hostility of the Chinese authorities. Melinda Gates, the philanthropist whose foundation makes enormous investments in health and development worldwide.
