"They criticize me; I criticize them. That's what democracy is all about. But when you've been through it and you've competed as a woman to reach a leadership position, you lose any fear of being different; because you're so self-confident of what you do, you've achieved it on the basis of effort."
~Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
President, Liberia,
