Women’s Leadership in Post-Conflict Liberia: My Journey traces former Liberian Minister of Foreign Affairs Olubanke King-Akerele’s professional journey from her service as a young technocrat in the late 1960s through her 24 years of international service, with special attention paid to her public service from 2006-2010. She shares both self-reflections and lessons learned, addressing both the challenges faced during post-conflict reconstruction of Liberia as well as providing outlined responses to those challenges.
