No Woman Left Behind is the unlikely story of how one woman left Madison Avenue to tackle the global maternal health crisis head-on. Fistula Foundation CEO Kate Grant’s new memoir takes readers across the globe and explores the systemic challenges that perpetuate maternal health disparities, including gender inequality, poverty, and inadequate healthcare infrastructure. The book is both an inspiring personal journey and a call to action for anyone looking to create a life of purpose.<\/p>\n
The day a woman gives birth is also the day she is most likely to die or suffer severe injury\u2014a sobering reality that comes into sharp focus when Kate Grant visits the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia\u2019s capital. There, she sees row after row of beds occupied by young women afflicted with obstetric fistula, a childbirth injury that leaves them incontinent and too often shunned by their communities, modern-day lepers. She soon learns that surgery is the only way to end their suffering.<\/p>\n
In No Woman Left Behind<\/span>, Grant recounts her decision to abandon a promising advertising career, and the ups and downs of building Silicon Valley\u2013based Fistula Foundation from a modest start-up into the global leader in fistula treatment. Through vivid firsthand accounts of surgeons toiling in remote corners of Africa and Asia, we see inside the fight to restore hope to some of the world\u2019s most vulnerable women.<\/p>\n A compassionate army of donors spanning nearly seventy countries makes such life-changing care possible. Grant demonstrates the profound power of individual action to change lives at scale, since Fistula Foundation takes no government money. No Woman Left Behind<\/span> is a compelling personal journey and a how-to guide for anyone looking to make a lasting difference in the lives of others.<\/p>\n 100% of the author\u2019s net proceeds <\/span>from No Woman Left Behind will go to Fistula Foundation\u2019s Love a Sister program to fund free surgeries for women with childbirth injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \ud83c\udfc6 2025 BIBA\u00ae Non-Fiction: Medical Memoir Winner!
