Modern day Lysistrata

Leymah Gbowee earned a Nobel Peace Prize by taking a leaf from Aristophanes' Lysistrata

Three women, two Liberians and a Yemeni, win Nobel Peace Prize

Sharing the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize are Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf; her countrywoman Leymah Gbowee, a peace activist; and Tawakul Karman, a Yemeni human rights leader.

......................................

On the CBS evening news, Nobel prize winner Leymah Gbowee was interviewed:
The woman who ended Liberia's civil war

When men failed to end 14 years of civil war in Liberia, Leymah Gbowee rallied the women of her nation to stop it. Michelle Miller gets the amazing story from the woman herself - who was recently awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
