No Woman Left Behind: A Journey of Hope to Heal Every Woman Injured in Childbirth

NOW A USA TODAY BESTSELLER INSPIRATION FOR HOW TO CREATE A LIFE OF PURPOSE, NO WOMAN LEFT BEHIND IS THE UNLIKELY STORY OF HOW ONE WOMAN LEAVES MADISON AVENUE AND TACKLES THE GLOBAL MATERNAL HEALTH CRISIS HEAD ON—PREFACED BY A POWERFUL FOREWORD BY BEST-SELLING AUTHOR ABRAHAM VERGHESE. 2025 International Book Award Winner in Autobiography/Memoir “In this rousing debut, Grant demonstrates how the faith and actions of a small group of people can save the world.”—BookLife Reviews, Editor’s Pick “A call to action for compassionate advocates, and a stunning tale of how deeds triumph over platitudes.”—Dr. Denis Mukwege, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize The day a woman gives birth is also the day she is most likely to die or suffer severe injury—a sobering reality that comes into sharp focus when Kate Grant visits the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia’s 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. In No Woman Left Behind, Grant recounts her decision to abandon a promising advertising career, and the ups and downs of building Silicon Valley–based 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’s most vulnerable women. 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 is a compelling personal journey and a how-to guide for anyone looking to make a lasting difference in the lives of others. 100% of the author’s 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.
