Imprisonment. Mutilation. Persecution. 
‘The Muslim Mother Teresa’ Huffington Post 
Edna Adan Ismail endured it all – for the women of Africa. 
Edna saw first-hand how poor healthcare, lack of education and ancient superstitions had devastating effects on Somaliland’s people, especially its women. When she suffered the trauma of FGM herself as a young girl at the bidding of her mother, Edna’s determination was set. 
The first midwife to practise in Somaliland, Edna became a formidable teacher and campaigner for women’s health. As her country was swept up in its bloody fight for independence, Edna rose to become its First Lady and first female cabinet minister. 
She built her own hospital, brick by brick, training future generations in what has been hailed as one of the Horn of Africa’s finest university hospitals 
This is Edna’s truly remarkable story. 
Edna Adan Ismail's autobiography is not just a tale of personal triumph, but a testament to her unwavering commitment to medical science and feminism. Her journey from being a victim of social norms to becoming one of the top activists in obstetrics and gynaecology is a beacon of hope for women across the globe. 
For fans of Marc Eliot (Michael Douglas), Billy Connolly (Rambling Man), Gwen Strauss (The Nine), Mick Wall (Like a Bat Out of Hell), and Lisa Rojany-Buccieri (The Twins of Auschwitz).
