How Melinda Gates negotiated school drop-offs with Bill—and inspired other moms to ask for help via CNBCMakeIt
As a mom, wife, philanthropist and former general manager at Microsoft, Melinda Gates is known as one of the most powerful women in the world.
She tells CNBC Make It's Jenna Goudreau that she always knew she wanted an equal partnership that wasn't constrained by the traditional gender roles and responsibilities often placed on women."The good news," she says,"was [Bill] had a mom who both was at home and working. She did many things in the community and was on several boards."
But she says there were still times when"we just didn't realize we had fallen back into our own sort of biases about who does what." And when this happened, she says,"I had to name at home what I needed." So Bill said,"'What could I do?'" says Gates."'What could I do to make it easier?' And I said, 'Well, you could drive.'"
