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

3.0

This is classic testimonial literature - heavy on the history and politics as told through the voice of a remarkable activist. I learned a lot from Leymah's story, but mostly in the general overview of the war and her work. This book focuses on women and their struggle and their involvement in the Liberian peace process, but I kept having to remind myself that it's first person POV and not academic.
