| Description |
Leymah Gbowee
Joint Nobel Peace Prize winner, Liberian activist
tells an extraordinary story in her autobiography Mighty Be Our Powers: How Sisterhood, Prayer and Sex Changed a Nation at War. As a peace activist, she led a coalition of women that had a significant impact on ending the second Liberian Civil War and ousting dictator Charles Taylor. Working with women across Africa, she has consistently shown the power of African women to bring change.
For Gbowee, the future lies in harnessing the power of girls, and doing her own part to make education and opportunity a reality for girls in Africa.
