Champion of Choice by Cathleen Miller
With its insights into the political, religious, and domestic battles that have dominated women's destinies, Sadik's life story is as inspirational as it is dramatic
“Cathleen Miller’s Champion of Choice is a rigorous yet eloquent account of DrSadik’s inspirational career, and a beautiful and long-awaited tribute to one of the greatest women’s advocates of the twentieth century. The issues to which Dr. Sadik has so passionately dedicated her life are becoming only more salient as our global community strives to protect both our people and our planet, and Dr. Sadik will certainly remain an invaluable and unequaled leader in this field for years to come.”—Ted Turner, UN Foundation Founder and Chairman and Founder of CNN
“Dr. Sadik’s invaluable contribution to improving maternal and child health deserves the gratitude of millions of people around the world.”—Kofi Annan, former secretary-general of the United Nations and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize
“Nafis Sadik is a great leader, one of the world’s most powerful women.”—Carolyn Maloney, U.S. congresswoman
"Nafis Sadik is a woman who set out to "change the world"—and in many ways she did just that."—Diane Brandley, New York Journal of Books
"Extensively researched, Miller's engrossing biography illuminates Sadik's formidable passion. . . . An indefatigable supporter, tenacious crusader, and powerful proponent of women’s autonomy, Sadik is a hero for all ages and genders."—Carol Haggas, Booklist starred review
"The truly valuable biographies bring to our attention people whose exemplary lives have somehow escaped public notice. Dr. Nafis Sadik is this sort of person, and Champion of Choice is this kind of book."—Nick Taylor, On the Page
