"Her presidency inspired me and I believe it will continue to inspire women in Africa. Nevertheless, structural obstacles impede progress.

Though the election of President Johnson-Sirleaf may have opened some doors, male-dominated political arenas and the belief that women cannot hold high political positions persist."
