“Iron Ladies of Liberia” A documentary following the women that helped to rebuild Africa.
In 2006, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was the first woman ever elected head of state in Africa and she was left with the task to fix a country where almost everything was broken. Liberia had endured vicious recent civil wars that saw unspeakable atrocities. In approaching this momentous challenge, she put together a remarkable team of women.
But the looming question that hovered over them while they tried to achieve progress: how quickly can they improve their lives when the country faces a crushing debt of almost four billion dollars?
In anticipation of the visit by Liberian President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, to the New York Society for Ethical Culture on June 4th, the Public Issues Committee held a viewing of the documentary, Iron Ladies of Liberia.
The discussion that followed was led by Dr. Thelma Awori, President of the African Market Women’s Fund. Our own Dr. Phyllis Harrison-Ross, Chair of the SSB, presided.
