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

5.0

What a powerful story of the amazing women in Africa. Leymah is a women that is forced to run from the horrors of the civil war in Africa, from her home to other countries that are ill prepared for the influx of people running for safety. Not only does she start a movement, become educated, give up her family for a greater cause, but she also loves deeply and stays to help women not only in Africa but around the world. Her story is heart wrenching, uplifting, infurating, and unrelatable. Yet it is a must read for all women to understand the power that we have when we stand together.

It has been said that if we don't learn from the past we are destine to repeat it.
