She won the election with the support of women from across Liberia and since taking office has appointed other extraordinary women to leadership positions in all areas of government. This diverse group of leaders - and many strong women throughout the country - has adopted their popular President’s nickname. They are all Iron Ladies of Liberia.” With the exclusive cooperation of President Sirleaf, Iron Ladies of Liberia is an intimate observational documentary that goes behind the scenes with Africa’s first freely elected female head of state.
