Presentation copy, inscribed by author on the front free endpaper, "To Madeleine Albright, With all best wishes and thanks for all you've done. Sincerely Paola Gianturco & All of us at The Dolphin Bookshop" With an autograph letter signed by the author to Albright laid in. The recipient, Madeleine K. Albright was the first woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. She acted under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001, leading the United States through foreign policy in the Middle East with the endorsement of military action in Iraq. At the 1998 NATO summit, Albright coined the â3 Dsâ of NATO, âwhich is no diminution of NATO, no discrimination and no duplication â" because I think that we donât need any of those three âDsâ to happen.â After her tenure as Secretary of State, she served as chair of the consulting Albright Stonebridge Group and was the Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at Georgetown Universityâs School of Foreign Service. For Albrightâs contributions to foreign policy and relations that defined a century, President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. Fine in a fine dust jacket. In Her Hands: Craftswomen Changing the World is a book that highlights the transformative power of craftswomen who use their artistic and entrepreneurial skills to bring about social, cultural, and economic change in their communities. The book focuses on women from various regions, cultures, and traditions who have embraced crafts not only as a form of self-expression but also as a means of empowerment and sustainability. Through their work, these craftswomen are challenging gender norms, advocating for environmental conservation, and promoting local economies. The book underscores the global significance of women's contributions to the craft industry and illustrates how craft can serve as a tool for social justice, cultural preservation, and innovation. It offers a compelling narrative about how craftswomen are shaping the future through their creativity and resilience.
