Wambach's book, based on a viral commencement speech, discusses her life and the fight for equal pay in women's soccer, connecting it to broader issues of equality. She recounts a powerful moment at the ESPYs and her subsequent commitment to fighting for equality.

"

In 2015, the women's team brought in 6.6 million dollars and the men's team only brought in two.

I was feeling this immense amount of gratitude like wow, we women had finally made it, you know, and what what I realized when I walked off stage is that's like basically the emotion that women are granted to feel when they are given an award, this idea of just being grateful.

So for me writing this book and trying to unpack some of these moments in my life that taught me things. I mean that night is when I dedicated and I promised myself that I would dedicate myself for the rest of my life to fighting for equality whether it be equal pay in my sport and in my for my team but also for every woman in every industry because this is a fight that is necessary and it's not necessary just because women deserve it. It's necessary for all people everywhere, right?

I said good question, but only if you ask every male speaker you've hired if his message is applicable to women too.

And so too can we as women be the salvation of what's happening in our system right now.
