 the Liberian Mass Action for Peace\, which brought together Christian and 
 Muslim women in a nonviolent movement that engaged in public protest\, con

 sex strike.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>With an army of women\, Gbowee helped lead her 
 nation to peace-and became an international leader who changed history\, w
 on the Nobel Peace Prize for her work\, and fiercely advocates for girls' 
 empowerment and leadership.&nbsp\;<em>Mighty Be Our Powers</em>&nbsp\;is t
