Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has written her autobiography, A Life for Liberia. A few days after her birth, she says at the beginning, an old man visited her parents to look at the newborn and wish her luck. And said, “This child will go to the top.” He was right: the girl became the first woman in Africa to attain the office of head of state through an election. In 2011, she received the Nobel Peace Prize.
