Traveling from village to village, Gbowee began organizing women and persuaded women of different cultures to unite; under her leadership, thousands of women were dressed all in white to symbolize peace. Gbowee writes：“We were silent before, but after so many of us have been killed, fallen with diseases, and lost our children and families, war has taught us that the future lies in saying no to violence and yes to peace！”

　　The women had reason to fear, but Gbowee had no choice. Then women could register to vote. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf became Africa's first female president in 2005. Gbowee's work was just beginning.

　　She now travels the world, meeting with everyone from presidents to CEOs to people living in tiny villages, fighting for women and girls.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇人物介绍。讲述了Leymah Gbowee在自己美好的生活被战争破坏后，没有放弃，而是不断努力，为人权、为妇女儿童权益而斗争，最终成为非洲一名主要的女权运动人物，并荣获2011年诺贝尔和平奖。
