Leymah
Roberta Gbowee (born 1 February 1972) is a Liberian peace activist
responsible for leading a women's peace movement that helped bring
an end to the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003. Her efforts to
end the war, along with her collaborator Ellen Johnson Sirleaf,
helped usher in a period of peace and enabled a free election
in 2005 that Sirleaf won. This made Liberia the first African
nation to have a female president.[1] She, along with Ellen Johnson
Sirleaf and Tawakkul Karman, were awarded the 2011 Nobel Peace
Prize "for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women
and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building
work." [ From
