- Who are the “Iron Ladies” and how have they changed Liberia?
After surviving a 14-year civil war and a government riddled with corruption, Liberia is ready for change. On January 16, 2006, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf was inaugurated President - the first freely elected female head of state in Africa. Having won a hotly contested election with the overwhelming support of women across Liberia, Sirleaf faces the daunting task of lifting her country from debt and devastation. She turns to a remarkable team of women, appointing them in positions such as police chief, finance minister, minister of justice, commerce minister and minister of gender. In Iron Ladies, we follow them behind the scenes during their critical first year in office as they tackle indolent bureaucracy, black markets and the omnipresent threat of violent riots.

she was a good leader ,love her style of leadership
Liberia has a place on my heart. We had to run out the country 1980, being white and all, but I left there very good friends. Hope Liberia achieves peace and prosper.

How did the Iron Ladies view the conflict and crises of their country?
respect to her seeing the way she deals with tensions and problems. she's a great leader
Great woman, she has set excellent standards for Liberia to follow. The recovery process will be long just like for Sierra Leone next door. Both countries need individuals in leadership whom love their people and communities more than themselves and their families thus not to enrich themselves only.
Amazing film of something so important. Thank you.
I love this ❤
Really enjoyed watching it.

Women form the best leadership in Africa as they are naturally peaceful.
