In January 2006, after the Republic of Liberia had been racked by
fourteen years of brutal civil conflict, Ellen Johnson
Sirleaf-Africa's "Iron Lady" - was sworn in as president, an event
that marked a tremendous turning point in the history of the West
African nation. In this stirring memoir, Sirleaf shares the inside
story of her rise to power, including her early childhood; her
experiences with abuse, imprisonment, and exile; and her fight for
democracy and social justice. This compelling tale of survival
reveals Sirleaf's determination to succeed in multiple worlds: from
her studies in the United States to her work as an international
bank executive to her election campaigning in some of Liberia's
most desperate and war-torn villages and neighborhoods. It is also
the story of an outspoken political and social reformer who,
despite danger, fought the oppression of dictators and championed
change. By sharing her story, Sirleaf encourages women everywhere
to pursue leadership roles at the highest levels of power, and
gives us all hope that, with perseverance, we can change the world.
