Mighty Be Our Powers: How Sisterhood, Prayer, and Sex Changed a Nation at War by Leymah Gbowee

5.0

I had to read this in college for my Women of Africa course. My professor could not have chosen a better book to enlighten us about how women in Africa cannot continue to be viewed as perpetual victims. The way that Leymah Gbowee inspires her fellow women to bring about peace in her war-torn Liberia is amazing. Her actions brought about the end to the second Liberian Civil war in the early 2000's.
