Quotes
- “I didn't lobby for the job," she said in response, "but the good Lord has made his choice and I will continue to pray for guidance.”
- “Perry said that she owed "this pledge to God and to the Liberian people. We have no illusions and shall endeavor to have no other loyalties to any group or faction." She warned the warlords that she would "treat them like a mother and, if necessary, that means discipline" and would not hesitate to flex her executive muscles.”
- “I will treat them like a mother and, if necessary, that means discipline.”

Encyclopedic overview
Ruth Sando Fahnbulleh Perry (16 July 1939 – 8 January 2017) was a Liberian politician. She served as the interim Chairman of the Council of State of Liberia from 3 September 1996 until 2 August 1997, following the First Liberian Civil War. After 11 international peace attempts between 1990 and 1995 to end the civil war in Liberia, the attempts appeared to succeed. The interim Council of State consisted of a civilian chairman, as well as members of warring factions: Charles Taylor, United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy-K leader Alhaji Kromah, Liberia Peace Council leader George Boley, and two other civilians.
Perry was known for being the first female president of Liberia and of contemporary Africa as a whole. Liberia also has the distinction of electing Ellen Johnson Sirleaf as the first elected female African leader in modern times.
