In a discussion regarding women and leadership with The Wall Street Journal, Secretary Albright stated: “One of the things that I am most proud of is when some young woman comes up to me and says, ‘You are a role model for me,’… that is about as good as anything that happens because it does mean I have accomplished something” (Becky Bright, 11 November 2008).
Provenance for the lot: Secretary Madeleine K. Albright (inscriptions, bookplates).
