Madeleine Albright

Children's Literature - Gisela Jernigan

This balanced, well-researched biography introduces young readers to Madeleine Albright, our present and first female Secretary of State. From her threatened childhood in war-torn Czechoslovakia and England, her family's immigration to the U.S., to her busy years as student, mother, professor and U.S. ambassador to the U.N., we see how this dedicated, strong-minded woman has attained and maintains her present position. Many black-and-white and color photographs, an index, bibliography and source notes are included.
