520			_aIn January 2006, after 14 years of brutal civil conflict, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Africa's "Iron Lady," was sworn in as president of the Republic of Liberia. In this memoir, Sirleaf shares the story of her rise to power, from her early childhood to her studies in the US, her work as an international bank executive, her imprisonment and exile, and her fight for democracy and social justice. By sharing her story, Sirleaf encourages women everywhere to pursue leadership roles at the highest levels of power, and gives hope that, with perseverance, we can change the world. An appendix provides her inaugural speech.
