Remembering the brilliant and bold Madeleine Albright-Madam Secretary.I was honoured to have been invited to work with her on her book about the brooches she loved to collect and wore with such panache and wit -often mischievous wit - to send diplomatic messages. She had fun with them yet they also signalled female empowerment - and her pride in being the first woman to hold such high office in the USA. Here she is wearing a dove of peace; swipe to see the superb Late Victorian bee brooch and swipe again to see her wearing it with Yasser Arafat -she could float like a butterfly or sting like a bee. And swipe again to see the Victorian snake brooch that started her Read My Pins adventure .. when she was labelled an ‘unparalleled serpent’ in Saddam’s Iraqi press. The world will miss you Madam Secretary.
