Abstract

Albright served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations from 1993 to 1997, then became the first woman ever to hold the position of U.S. Secretary of State (1997-2001). In this beautifuly illustrated volume, she tells the story of her career and how her collection of pins and brooches became a trademark part of her personal diplomatic style.
