La princesse Esmeralda est partie à la rencontre des dix femmes prix Nobel de la paix. À partir de longues conversations avec chacune d’entre elles, elle trace leur parcours de vie et dresse le portrait de ces personnalités exceptionnelles. Deux Irlandaises, Mairead Corrigan et Betty Williams, lauréates en 1976, qui ont rassemblé des centaines de milliers de personnes pour mettre fin à la violence en Irlande du Nord. L’opposante birmane, Aung San Suu Kyi (1991), figure emblématique s’il en est, assignée à résidence durant quinze ans par la junte militaire de son pays et refusant de se soumettre. Rigoberta Menchú (1992), la Guatemaltèque qui révéla au monde le combat des indigènes d’Amérique centrale. Jody Williams (1997), la militante américaine qui parvint à faire interdire l’utilisation des mines antipersonnel. Shirin Ebadi, première femme à devenir juge en Iran en 1974, lauréate en 2003, inlassable défenderesse des droits des femmes et des enfants dans une société musulmane ultraconservatrice. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, première femme élue présidente d’un pays africain et Leymah Gbowee, les deux Libériennes qui partagèrent le prix Nobel en 2011 avec la Yéménite Tawakkol Karman, pour leur lutte pacifiste en faveur de la sécurité des femmes et pour leur participation à la construction de la paix. Enfin la benjamine, Malala Yousafzai, lauréate du prix en 2014, l’écolière pakistanaise militante pour le droit à l’éducation, miraculeusement rescapée après un attentat perpétré contre elle par des talibans à la sortie de son école en 2012.

As Eve Ensler says in her inspired foreword to this book, "Jody Williams is many things-a simple girl from Vermont, a sister of a disabled brother, a loving wife, an intense character full of fury and mischief, a great strategist, an excellent organizer, a brave and relentless advocate, and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. But to me Jody Williams is, first and foremost, an activist."From her modest beginnings to becoming the tenth woman-and third American woman-to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, Jody Williams takes the reader through the ups and downs of her tumultuous and remarkable life. In a voice that is at once candid, straightforward, and intimate, Williams describes her Catholic roots, her first step on a long road to standing up to bullies with the defense of her deaf brother Stephen, her transformation from good girl to college hippie at the University of Vermont, and her protest of the war in Vietnam. She relates how, in 1981, she began her lifelong dedication to global activism as she battled to stop the U.S.-backed war in El Salvador.Throughout the memoir, Williams underlines her belief that an "average woman"-through perseverance, courage and imagination-can make something extraordinary happen. She tells how, when asked if she'd start a campaign to ban and clear anti-personnel mines, she took up the challenge, and the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) was born. Her engrossing account of the genesis and evolution of the campaign, culminating in 1997 with the Nobel Peace Prize, vividly demonstrates how one woman's commitment to freedom, self-determination, and human rights can have a profound impact on people all over the globe.
