No Woman Left Behind

---

After a decade manically scaling a Madison Avenue career ladder, Kate Grant jumped off in search of work that spoke to her heart. On a visit to the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital, in the Ethiopian capital, she finds her way. Bed after bed contains young women suffering from obstetric fistula, a childbirth injury that when untreated left women incontinent and too often relegated to life as modern-day lepers. The only cure: surgery. In NO WOMAN LEFT BEHIND, Grant chronicles her journey, growing Fistula Foundation from a small start-up to global leader in fistula treatment, becoming ''The Smile Train of Vaginas,'' helping more than 100,000 women in 30 countries get the priceless gift of health. Inspired by doctors like DR Congo''s Dr. Denis Mukwege, Grant focuses on empowering African and Asian doctors, gaining vital support from an empathetic army of donors in nearly 70 countries. NO WOMAN LEFT BEHIND is a call to action. Grant invites readers to join a growing global community committed to enabling some of the world''s most vulnerable women to control their bodies and their destinies. 100% of the net proceeds from NO WOMAN LEFT BEHIND will go to Fistula Foundation''s Love-a-Sister program to fund free surgeries for women with childbirth injuries.
