Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (born 29 October 1938) is the 24th and current President of Liberia, in office since 2006. She served as Minister of Finance under President William Tolbert from 1979 until the 1980 coup d'état, after which she left Liberia and held senior positions at various financial institutions. She placed second in the 1997 presidential election won by Charles Taylor. She won the 2005 presidential election and took office on 16 January 2006, and she was a successful candidate for re-election in 2011. Sirleaf is the first elected female head of state in Africa.
Sirleaf was jointly awarded the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize with Leymah Gbowee of Liberia and Tawakel Karman of Yemen. The women were recognized "for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Nobel Peace Prize 2011 – Press Release )〕
Sirleaf was conferred the Indira Gandhi Prize by President of India Pranab Mukherjee on 12 September 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.biharprabha.com/2013/09/liberia-president-ellen-johnson-sirleaf-to-get-indira-gandhi-prize-for-peace/ )〕 As of 2014, she is listed as the 70th most powerful woman in the world by ''Forbes''.
==Family background==
Sirleaf's father was Gola and her mother had mixed Kru and German ancestry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf )〕 While not Americo-Liberian in terms of ancestry, Sirleaf is considered culturally Americo-Liberian by some observers or assumed to be Americo-Liberian.〔 〕 However, Sirleaf does not identify as such. Sirleaf's father, Jahmale Carney Johnson, was born into an impoverished rural region.〔 He was the son of a minor Gola chief named Jahmale and one of his wives, Jenneh, in Julijuah, Bomi County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's tribal roots and Americo Liberian background )〕 Her father was sent to Monrovia, where he changed his surname to Johnson due to his father's loyalty to President Hilary R. W. Johnson, Liberia's first native-born president.〔 He grew up in Monrovia, where he was raised by an Americo-Liberian family with the surname McCritty.〔 Sirleaf's father later became the first Liberian from an indigenous ethnic group to sit in the country's national legislature.〔〔 Sirleaf's mother was also born into poverty in Greenville.〔 Her grandmother, Juah Sarwee, sent Sirleaf's mother to Monrovia when Sirleaf's German grandfather had to flee the country after Liberia declared war on Germany during World War I.〔 A member of a prominent Americo-Liberian family, Cecilia Dunbar, adopted and raised Sirleaf's mother.〔
