When Ellen Johnson Sirleaf won the 2005 Liberian presidential election, she became the first female elected head of state in Africa’s history. Her remarkable achievement is the subject of Madame President: The Extraordinary Journey of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf by Helene Cooper, the New York Times’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Pentagon correspondent, who also happens to be Liberian-born herself; available now from Simon & Schuster.
