The wife of Bill Gates, that is Belinda Gates; the wife of the former President of the USA, that is Hillary Clinton and the daughter, Chelsea have launched a book that talks about recognition of women. In their book, they are saying that it is quite depressing that in 2015, the number of women in leadership in the world is still below 10 per cent.
