Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf

This lady (the one on the left) rules. And the girl next to her is the cutest. More than half the electorate in Liberia is women. Go girls!-- she beat a big soccer star! First African woman president ever!

Indeed, when supporters of Ms. Johnson-Sirleaf, 66, a onetime United Nations official and Liberian finance minister, marched through the broken streets of Monrovia in the final, frantic days of the campaign for Liberia's presidency, they shouted and waved signs that read, "Ellen - she's our man."
