Born in Czechoslovakia as Marie Jana Korbel on May 15,
1937, she and her family fled to a safer place when the Nazis invaded their
homeland prior to WWII. They lived
in England until after the war and then returned to the Czech Republic where her
father had been a diplomat prior to the war.
Life continued to be difficult in the war-torn nation so Marie and her
family left a second time to emigrate to the U.S. in 1948.
She changed her name to Madeline in America and adopted a new last name
in marriage. Madeline was not aware
until the 1990’s of her Jewish roots and that her grandparents had died in a
German concentration camp.
Probably
following in her father’s footsteps, Madeline became involved in politics
beginning in 1972 when she aided in Senator Edmund Muskie’s presidential
campaign. She continued to be
active in the Democratic Party working for President Jimmy Carter’s national
security advisor. When the
Republicans were in the White House from 1981-1993, Madeline stayed active as
the president of the nonprofit Center for National Policy, teaching classes at
Georgetown University, working for the Democratic party, and studying the
changing dynamic of the Soviet Union and eastern Europe.
President
Clinton saw her potential and chose her to be ambassador to the United Nations
in 1993, and then in 1997 Congress unanimously approved her appointment as the
first female Secretary of State. She
has earned a Ph.D. from Columbia University’s Department of Public Law, and
she is fluent in five languages. Raising
three daughters of her own, Madeline Albright made woman’s rights an
international issue during her tenure.
