On March 23, 2022, Madeleine Albright, the first woman to serve as U.S. secretary of state, died at the age of 84. According to The New York Times, “Albright rose to power and fame as a brilliant analyst of world affairs and a White House counselor on national security. Under President Bill Clinton, she became the country’s representative to the United Nations (1993-1997) and secretary of state (1997-2001), making her the highest-ranking woman in the history of American government at the time.” A graduate of Wellesley College, Albright became and remained a prominent voice in American foreign policy long after her tenure as secretary of state ended.
