"mighty be our powers"

I try to read as much as I can, and I'll read almost anything. I find inspiration anywhere. If I don't know what to read I go online and look: amazon, nytimes bestseller list, time, blogs. I also read about books in other books. When I find an interesting book I write it down on a list I keep. Recently, I downloaded a new book from that list. "Mighty be our powers" by Leymah Gbowee. At the time I had no idea who this woman was (maybe I'm ignorant or something), but if I remember correctly Sheryl Sandberg wrote about her in her book "Lean In." Anyways, I just finished it, and it's one of the best books I've read. What an incredible woman, and what an incredible journey she's been through. I got curious and googled her, then found out I should definitely know who she is. She won the Nobel Peace Prize!

This book has put me on a "womens rights, political activism, human rights" sort of path, and I will now be reading a book about another Nobel Peace Prize winner, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
