Madame President: The Extraordinary Journey of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf by Helene Cooper

4.0

I heard about the first female president on the African continent but knew nothing about her story, her struggle, what made her such an iconic figure. This book answered pretty answered everything and when i finished it my sense of respect for this woman and all the women of Liberia is further increased.
I'm from the Congo myself and the kind of hellish environment portrayed in this book is sadly still part of the daily life of women in the eastern part of my country. It breaks my heart everyday knowing about it. Men have been failing for decades and are STILL failing those poor women, maybe it's time a woman takes the rain of that country too
