American diplomat and political scientist

Born Madeleine Jana Korbel, she served as the 64th United States secretary of state under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001, and became the first woman to hold that office. A member of the Democratic Party, Albright is remembered for her career in American foreign policy and public life. Her public voice was shaped by diplomacy and political analysis, and her words often reflect those roles.
