Madeleine Albright served as Secretary of State for eight years during Bill Clinton’s two presidential terms. Madam Secretary brings to life the world leaders Albright dealt with intimately in her years of service and the battles she fought to prove her worth in a male-dominated arena. Besides these many encounters with the famous and powerful, we get to know Albright the private woman: her life raising three daughters, the painful breakup of her marriage to the scion of one of America’s leading newspaper families, and the discovery late in life of her own Jewish ancestry and that her grandparents had died in concentration camps.
