This year's Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Leymah Gbowee, who led the women's movement that leveraged public protests and sex strikes to end Liberia's civil war in 2003.  She now works internationally to help women build peace in their countries. Jon Stewart interviewed her on the daily show on Monday: http://www.thedailyshow.com/extended-interviews/402235/playlist_tds_extended_leymah_gbowee/402213
