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

3.0

'Mighty Be Our Powers' is the memoir of Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee, from Liberia. Gbowee won the Nobel Peace Prize alongside Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (Liberia) and Tawakkul Karman (Yemen) in 2011 for their "nonviolent struggle for the safety of women and women's rights to full participation in peacebuilding work." Gbowee led the 'Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace,' a women's nonviolent peace movement that worked to end the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003. This is an inspiring story that should be known by more people!
