The Complex History of Africa's Iron Lady: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

Recommendable! Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was the first elected female head of state in Africa, i.e. Liberia.

Especially the first several minutes where the early history of Liberia is covered. Freed slaves from the U.S. would oppress the indigenous population and consider themselves as superior!

Feminists criticized President Sirleaf, because Ellen considered feminism to be an extremism! I side with Ellen on this! :-)
