'The Muslim Mother Teresa' Huffington Post Imprisonment.
Mutilation. Persecution. Edna Adan Ismail endured it all - for the
women of Africa. A Woman of Firsts tells the inspirational story of
a remarkable daughter, nurse and First Lady. The indomitable Edna
Adan Ismail survived imprisonment, persecution, and civil war to
become a pioneering politician, a leading light in the World Health
Organisation, and a global campaigner for women's rights. The
eldest child of an overworked doctor in the British Protectorate of
Somaliland, Edna was the first midwife in Somaliland, she
campaigned tirelessly for better healthcare for women and fought
for women on a global stage as the first female Foreign Minister of
her country. But mixing with presidents and princes, she still
never forgot her roots and continued to deliver children and train
midwives - a role she has to this day. At 81 years old, she still
runs what is hailed as the Horn of Africa's finest university
hospital where she trains future generations and still delivers
babies. After all - as she puts it - she is simply a midwife.
