Madeleine Albright is the first woman to serve as Secretary of State in the United States. She served as US Permanent Representative to the UN, adviser to President Bill Clinton, directed the program “Women in Foreign Policy”, and was remembered for her diplomacy and toughness at the same time. Secretary Albright always acted boldly and decisively where necessary, for which reason she was called “iron woman”.
