And her name is..

Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf.

That's of course the name of the first African female president. She's been surprisingly elected president in the second round of Liberia's elections over George Weah, the famous Liberian footballer, who was leading the first round.

The Guardian has a piece on the election with interesting facts about the "Iron Lady" and about female politicians in the rest of the continent as well, while over at BBC's website you can find a pretty good coverage of the election, starting from the news story on "African leaders hailing Liberia poll", with a list of links to other on topic news on the right side of the page.

Let's hope that everything will work out well for war torn Liberia, and that her new president will live up to her qualifications: a Harvard educated, World Bank economist, having opposed Liberia's dictators.

Good night, and good luck to Ellen..
