Leymah Gbowee writes memoir and peace-activism non-fiction rooted in Liberia's civil wars and the organising work of women across religious and community lines. Mighty Be Our Powers recounts her experience of war, displacement, motherhood and trauma before turning to the Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace, a movement that brought Christian and Muslim women together in public protest and pressure for negotiations. The memoir focuses on practical organising, coalition-building and the emotional cost of activism rather than presenting peace work as a simple moral victory. Gbowee's prose is direct, personal and event-led, moving between family life and national crisis. Her work fits African memoir, women's activism, peace studies and conflict-resolution reading, especially for readers interested in how grassroots organising operates during civil conflict.
