In this timely addition to the Ohio Short Histories of Africa
series, Pamela Scully takes us from the 1938 birth of Nobel Peace
Prize winner and two-time Liberian president Ellen Johnson through
the Ebola epidemic of 2014-15. Charting her childhood and
adolescence, the book covers Sirleaf's relationship with her
indigenous grandmother and urban parents, her early marriage, her
years studying in the United States, and her career in
international development and finance, where she developed her
skill as a technocrat. The later chapters cover her years in and
out of formal Liberian politics, her support for women's rights,
and the Ebola outbreak. Sirleaf's story speaks to many of the key
themes of the twenty-first century. Among these are the growing
power of women in the arenas of international politics and human
rights; the ravaging civil wars in which sexual violence is used as
a weapon; and the challenges of transitional justice in building
postconflict societies. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is an astute
examination of the life of a pioneering feminist politician.
