Description
"Edna Adan Ismail has endured it all. She saw how poor healthcare, lack of education and superstition had devastating effects on Somaliland's people, especially its women. When she suffered the trauma of FGM herself as a young girl, Edna's determination was set. The first midwife to practice in Somaliland and to build her own hospital, Edna became a formidable campaigner for women's health. She rose to become its first lady, but even as she was courted by president and kings, she never forgot her roots."--Back cover.
