      abstract = {Biography of the world's foremost advocate for women's  health and reproductive rights and the first female  director of a United Nations agency. An obstetrician, wife,  mother, and devout Muslim, Sadik has been a courageous and  tireless advocate for women, insisting on discussing the  difficult issues that impact their lives: education,  contraception, abortion, as well as rape and other forms of  violence. After Sadik joined the fledgling UN Population  Fund in 1971, her groundbreaking strategy for providing  females with education and the tools to control their own  fertility has dramatically influenced the global birthrate.  This book is the first to examine Sadik's contribution to  history and the unconventional methods she has employed to  go head-to-head with world leaders to improve millions of  women's lives. Interspersed between the chapters recounting  Sadik's life are vignettes of females around the globe who  represent her campaign against domestic abuse, child  marriage, genital mutilation, and other human rights  violations.},
