Melissa Block speaks with one of those women: Leymah Gbowee of Liberia. Gbowee mobilized women from disparate ethnic and religious groups to participate in fasting, prayer and even sex strikes, in an effort to bring an end to war in their country.https://wamu.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/wamu-default-og-image.png1200630
