That's universal - we all want to bring every good thing to our children. But what's not universal is our ability to provide every good thing.

You can have the best vaccines for a woman or her child, but if you can't get her to come and get them then they won't work.

When I studied computer science at Duke University in the first half of the 1980s, I had professors who treated women differently than men. I kind of got used to it. At Microsoft, I had to use my elbows and make sure I spoke up at the table, but it was an incredibly meritocratic place. Outside, in the industry, I would feel the sexism. I'd walk into a room and until I proved my worth, everyone would assume that the guy presenting with me had credibility and I didn't.

Helping people doesn't have to be an unsound financial strategy.

With economic opportunity, sometimes it's making sure that if they're not in a place where they can have good jobs, that when they have economic opportunity, they have digital tools to use.

I care much more about saving the lives of mothers and babies than I do about a fancy museum somewhere.
