Jewelry-Box-Diplomacy


The broken glass ceiling in form of a pin and owned by Mrs. Albright.  So appropriate for her to wear it.  She certainly broke through when she was the first women to become Secretary of State.

This evening, Madeleine Albright will speak at Wellesley College, her alma mater.  All tickets are sold and I could not go because of packing my suitcase.  Curious, we went nevertheless to see the exhibition of all her 200 pins in the Davis Museum http://www.wellesley.edu/davismuseum/whats-on/current/node/42147

What we thought?  As she is a Wellesley graduate it is fitting, but otherwise it is more an exhibition for the Smithsonian Institute.  Most interesting were the pins which had a photo of her wearing one as a diplomatic nudge.  Her book is probably more interesting but the bookstore at Wellesley was closed.
