موديبو كيتا
In 1966, she gave up her midwife duties. When Modibo Keïta was overthrown in a 1968 coup d'état, she left the country. In the 1970s, she and her second husband, Djimé Diallo, lived in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo. She published her autobiography in 1975; "Femme d’Afrique. La vie d’Aoua Kéita racontée par elle-même" recounted her life up to the 1950s. When conditions improved in Mali and deteriorated in the Congo, they moved to Bamako in 1979, where she died the following year.
