Mighty Be Our Powers: How Sisterhood, Prayer, and Sex Changed a Nation at War by Leymah Gbowee
4.0
Great book. Very sad, though. I love learning more about what goes on in other countries. Especially the crappy ones and how people make it out alive somehow and come to America and tell their story.
What language do they speak in their country?
Like the other Africa books I still don't know who is the bad guy, the rebels or the government? They both sound awful.
How did America not become like these African countries? Did we stifle the rebellion or the natives too much where they couldn't fight back? We were in the same boats as these countries yet we prevailed, thankfully.
I wish she didn't spoil what happened by saying she got pregnant and stayed with Daniel reflecting on it 20 years later. I wanted to be surprised.
How do you get your breast cut off and still live? That's a major appendage like an arm, I'd imagine. Won't you bleed to death?
Wow, how does she just stand up to the government like that. It's like a real life Katniss and President Snow.
Maybe I missed something but why are the women crying women's rights when the whole country is suffering. To me it's like treating a broken leg when the head is bleeding profusely. The leg can wait until after the head is fixed.
Who did she have her last child with?
