## Description

Founding a Movement captures the impossible dream realized by a visionary group of women who met in Mexico City at the first United Nations World Conference on Women in 1975, and then, together, created the first global women's microfinance network. Drawing on more than 80 interviews, Michaela Walsh recounts her extraordinary path as the founding president of Women's World Banking and brings alive the perseverance, confidence, and shared risk-taking that propelled the movement forward. This book illuminates the birth of a culture of trust—from Kenya to Colombia to the Philippines—where women entrepreneurs could learn from and teach each other to gain control over their economic destinies. In Walsh's words, Founding a Movement "shines a light on the value that women contribute through work, and when they support one another, to become full participants in the economy through access to financial institutions and services, and everything that goes with that access."

Review: Wonderful - A wonderful book by and about a great woman who was on the front lines of the womans movement. All young woman should read this book.
Review: No way this could happen -- but they did it - When women could not get credit anywhere on their own, a small but determined band of women said "This has to change." In a world so diferent from today - think few telephones, much less no internet or cell phone -- women just did it. And they taught each other. Astounding. See how global development could be done well and from the ground up.
