Biography
Czech-American political scientist and government employee, the first woman named as Secretary of State, in December 1996. She served as the 64th U.S. Secretary of State from 1997 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton.
Albright was the daughter of a diplomat. Her family was driven from Prague twice, first by Stalin then by Hitler; her grandparents were among some 77,000 Czech Jews killed by the Holocaust.
She first arrived in the U.S. on 11 November 1948. During her first 18 years, her family moved at least once a year, from Belgrade where her dad served as a diplomat, to a damp basement in London to a series of modest bungalows in Denver. By 1955, just seven years after her arrival in the U.S., Madeleine won a scholarship to Wellesley. Four days after graduation, she married Joseph Albright, on 11 June 1959.
She brought up their three daughters, worked as a political volunteer and served on innumerable boards, in addition to spending eight years working for her PhD. On the morning of 13 January 1982, her husband of 23 years announced that he was in love with another woman. It was a huge turning point. She was on her own, and able to develop as a woman and as a world server.
In May 2012, Albright was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by U.S. President Barack Obama. She died from cancer in Washington, D.C., on 23 March 2022 at the age of 84.
