À propos de cet audio
As a young woman growing up in Africa, 17-year-old Leymah Gbowee was crushed by a savage war when violence reached her native Monrovia, 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 that women bear the greatest burden in prolonged conflicts. Passionate and charismatic, Gbowee was instrumental in galvanizing hundreds, if not thousands, of women in Liberia in 2002 to force a peace in the region after 14 years of war. She began organizing Christian and Muslim women to demonstrate together, founding Liberian Mass Action for Peace, launching protests and even a sex strike.
p>Gbowee’s memoir, Mighty Be Their Powers, chronicles the unthinkable violence she’s faced throughout her life and the peace she has helped broker by empowering hundreds of her countrywomen and others around the world to take action and takes listeners along on her continuing journey as she harnesses the power of women to bring her country peace, saves herself, and changes history. ©2011 Leymah Gbowee (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc.Ce que les critiques en disent

Must read
Profound, moving, and inspirational. If you want an example of what women can do when they put aside their differences and allow our common experiences as women to unite us, this is it. We all need to honour what these women have started and continue to give their lives for.

Mighty and moving
Loved this from the opening to the closing. An inspiring story of what is possible, how effective collective action is, and a beautiful personal journey through unimaginable trials and how she triumphs.
