Good morning! Harvey Weinstein is back on trial, Jane Fraser isn't stressed about Citi's exposure to a trade war, and Fortune’s Michal Lev-Ram talks with Melinda French Gates about divorce and her new book.
- Open book. Anyone who has been through a divorce knows that it's not just disruptive to the two people untangling their lives from each other, but to everyone they're connected to. But few women—or men, for that matter—have to consider the ramifications philanthropist Melinda French Gates did when separating from her ex-husband, Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates.
In a new book published this week, titled The Next Day, French Gates opens up about her divorce—among other life-changing transitions she has lived through in the last few years. "I loved Bill," French Gates writes in one of the book’s chapters. "Not only that, but I valued our family life deeply—and I felt enormous responsibility to the foundation we’d started together. Was I going to rip all that apart? Was I going to forgo the future we’d imagined for so long?"
