The Nobel Peace Prize was recently awarded to Leymah Gbowee and Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (the first woman to be elected president in modern Africa).

Gbowee and President Johnson Sirleaf are both featured in Women, War & Peace, a five-part series that examines the dangers women face in today’s modern war zones. Their bold story is told in “Pray the Devil Back to Hell,” which explores how a group of Liberian women took on warlords and a dictator to bring peace to their war-torn country.

The "Pray the Devil Back to Hell" episode of Women, War and Peace will air on October 23 at 6 p.m.

In the video below, Leymah tells her story of survival, revolution and victory.
