Being the first female president is tangible because one woman has accomplished the task. In 2006, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf made history as Africa’s first female president! Until 2012, she holds office in Liberia, her homeland. Founded by freed American slaves in 1847, Liberia is the oldest of Africa’s republics and a war-ridden country.

In 1980, Liberia experienced a coup, or violent overthrow of the government, by Master Sgt. Samuel Doe, who sent Sirleaf, who was then finance minister, into exile. Sirleaf reemerged and ran for president three times - in 1997, 2003,and 2006. The third time was the charm.

Sirleaf has promised to “discharge the duties and functions of the office of the president of the Republic of Liberia to the best of her abilities”. “Stomping out corruption” is her top priority. Her approach earned her the nickname “Iron Lady”, and that name is perfect for the adidas next shoe line. It’s aggressive. And to think, when I feel powerful and fashionable as Commander in Chief , I will wear my Iron Lady’s.
