Madeleine Albright dead at 84
The first woman to serve as US secretary of state passed away from cancer, her family said
Madeleine Albright, the first woman to serve as the top US diplomat, passed away on Wednesday at the age of 84, her family confirmed, listing the cause of death as cancer.
“We are heartbroken to announce that Dr. Madeleine K. Albright, the 64th U.S. Secretary of State and the first woman to hold that position, passed away earlier today. The cause was cancer,” said a statement posted on Albright’s Twitter account by her relatives.
The family called Albright a “tireless champion of democracy and human rights” and a refugee “who rose to the heights of American policy-making, receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012, the nation's highest civilian honor.”
She was born Marie Jana Korbelova in Czechoslovakia in 1937. Her father Josef worked as a diplomat at the Czech embassy in what was then Yugoslavia. After Nazi Germany occupied Czechoslovakia, Korbel fled with his family to the UK and renounced his Jewish faith to become a Catholic. He returned to Belgrade as an ambassador in 1945, but sent his daughter to a boarding school in Switzerland, where she was nicknamed “Madeleine” – reportedly after the tea biscuit. By 1948, Korbel and his family once again fled to the West, this time to the US.
