Sheroes - Melinda French Gates

In a New York Times opinion piece, Melinda French Gates announced significant new funding for midlife and menopause care, as part of her overall commitment to women’s health. In an effort to help correct the gross underfunding of research in this area, she has put $600 million toward leveling the playing field. As she writes, “For every dollar the world spends on medical research and development, just five cents goes to women’s health.” Her essay provides an excellent overview of the sad current state of affairs of women’s health.
