Kurzbeschreibung
As a young woman growing up in Africa, Leymah Gbowee was broken by a savage civil war that destroyed life as she knew it, depriving her of the education she yearned for and claiming the lives of relatives and friends. As war continued to ravage Liberia, Gbowee's bitterness turned to rage-fueled action as she realized it is women who are the silent sufferers in prolonged conflicts. Passionate and charismatic, Gbowee was instrumental in galvanizing women across Liberia in 2003 to force a peace in the region after 14 years of war. She began organizing Christian and Muslim women to demonstrate together, founding the Liberian Mass Action for Peace, launching protests and even a sex strike. Gbowee's memoir, "Mighty Be Their Powers", chronicles the unthinkable violence she's faced throughout her life, the peace she has helped to broker by empowering her country-women and others around the world to take action, and takes readers along on her continuing journey as she harnesses the power of women to bring her country peace, saves herself, and changes history.

Mighty Be Her Powers
11. Oktober 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
On October 7, 2011, Leymah Gbowee was one of 3 women awarded the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize. This book is her story. She has written a revealing and seemingly uncensored tale of her country (Liberia), her personal doubts, failures and struggles in finding, defining and implementing her goals, and the impact she and other women of like mind and courage have had on showing women throughout Africa how to be major influences in bringing peace and reconciliation to their war ravaged countries.
When one considers the impossible setting in which this woman insisted on developing and growing her movement, her success in influencing peace in Liberia is nothing short of miraculous.
If you know of Africa, read her story. If you know little of Africa. definitely read it. If you are a woman, read her story. If you are a man, definitely read it.

so glad I heard about this book on NPR
11. Oktober 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Hearing about this book on NPR led me to choose it for our book club. Now that I've finished it, I can't wait to discuss it with my friends. It was amazing to me, to get to the end of the book and realize that the author is my age (not yet 40). I felt like she'd lived three lifetimes ... and as though I'd lived them with her. I especially appreciate how she is vulnerable and forthcoming with her own personal "failures", and how she does not forget to include humor in her story. Memoirs are my favorite kind of book. This is a great one. I take it as a personal challenge - never sit back and let life happen. Make life deal with YOU.

Could not put it down
14. September 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I love this woman and I love this book. Let me be clear, she is my friend, so if you don't want to take my word for it, don't. But I am gobsmacked, simply stunned and amazed at what a compelling read this book is--and I already knew her story when I read it!! So even though you might suspect me of bias, I really, really guarantee you won't think that once you've read it.
