****************************
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf (born 1939) is a Liberian politician and international public servant in Africa. She is the leader of the Unity Party.
Educated at Harvard, Johnson-Sirleaf became involved in government, when she became Finance Minister in President William Tolbert's administration in 1970. While running for Senate in 1985, she spoke out against the military regime, and was sentenced to ten years in prison. Released after a short period, she left in exile and returned in 1997 in the capacity of an economist, working for the World Bank, and the Citibank in Africa.
Initially supporting Charles Taylor's rebellion against General Samuel Doe, she later went on to oppose him, and ran against him in the Presidential elections. She managed only 10% of the votes, as opposed to Taylor's 75%. Taylor charged her with treason. In her efforts to bring justice to her own people in Liberia, she campaigned for the removal of President Taylor from office, playing an active and supportive role in the transitional government, as the country prepares itself for the elections in October, 2005.
