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

4.0

Such an interesting story and so many oxymorons/juxtapositions... Libera, on one hand, seems so backward and savage yet, on the other hand, elects a female president in a free and democratic election before the more progressive, first world country the USA? Ellen Sirleaf goes from a battered wife to the first female president Libera. I hope she is the woman portrayed in this book.
