She is a key reason women achieved “the regulatory, clinical, and policy changes that made these methods more widely available to women around the world”.[1]{{Better source|date=December 2017}} BiographyEarly life and educationCharlotte Ellertson was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1966. At the age of 13, Ellertson moved to the United States with her family.[2] Growing up in South Africa, Ellertson was exposed to women's health issues at an early age. Seeing this and women's health issues in the United States prompted Ellertson to want to change women's health.[3] Ellertson studied Biological Anthropology at Harvard University.[2] Then she attended Princeton University and received her MPA and PhD in Demography and Public Affairs from the Woodrow Wilson School.[2] Social workEllertson became interested in women's health through her background of growing up in South Africa. She realized that many women around the world were unable to make their own decisions about their own health and bodies, so she decided to make a career out of this passion. During this time, no laws that protected women in making health-related decisions were present, and Ellertson took action in providing the opportunities for women to receive the proper health-care services and needs they deserve.[3] In 2002, she founded Ibis Reproductive Health Organization to change what women's health services were worldwide. Charlotte Ellertson worked on the Population Council for seven years. She then worked as the Director of Reproductive Health for Latin America and the Caribbean in Mexico City for the final four years. Ellertson had many published articles, books, and reports and concentrated a lot on emergency contraception and medical abortion.[1] Ellertson was named one of 50 most influential women in health by the Huffington Post.[4] Ibis Reproductive HealthFounded in 2002, [https://ibisreproductivehealth.org Ibis Reproductive Health Organization] was an international women's reproductive rights research and advocacy group.[5] The organization was based out of the basement of a Cambridge Church.

Personal lifeEllertson knew how to speak several languages, (including Afrikaans, English, and Spanish) played the viola, and was a talented cook among many other things. [2] Ellertson passed away at the age of 38 due to breast cancer.[7] She married Paull Erskine Hejinian, an immigration lawyer, on October 12, 1996.[8] She had two daughters named Marka and Amity in 2001 and 2002, respectively.
