Unlocking the Talent and Inventiveness of Women Everywhere, to explore what happens when we fully unlock the transformative potential of women and girls globally. Lois’s book showcases stories of women who are driving change, applying their talent and inventiveness to transform fragile health systems, fight inequity, and build resilient responses to growing threats from climate change.
