In her new book, Beyond Surgery: Injury, Healing, and Religion at an Ethiopian Hospital, Hannig brings in a new perspective on how women in Sub-Saharan Africa live with obstetric fistula. Her work also engages with broader questions about care, belonging, loss, medicine, and faith in Ethiopia. Hannig wrote Beyond Surgery to be accessible to a variety of audiences from academics to health practitioners to a lay audience. Her experiences writing for a diverse audience make her an asset to this discussion on the craft of writing.
