In 2006, after a two-decade war in Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf earned the nickname ?The Iron Lady? as the first democratically elected female President of an African Nation. Almost three years later, many improvements can be seen in Liberia but a violent legacy of warlord politics and 70 percent unemployment rate threatens stability. President Sirleaf makes weekly appearances in the streets, fields, and marketplace to maintain her image as a woman working for the common Liberian.
