Sad news, first female U.S. Secretary of State, one of the giants of Democracy and diplomacy, at a time when she would have needed the most. If you have read her books and followed her career you would surely be in awe as I have been .

(c) 2005 Timothy Greenfield-Sanders Madeleine Albright was also a fountain pen user. She was known to visit the pen shop of the late Bert Heiserman, Pen Haven in Kensington, MD. See article on Pentrace Home Page. Unfortunately I missed her over the various times I visited Bert at the shop.
Of course, she was well known to have an extensive collection of brooch pins, each a statement, either personal or diplomatic.
Here are some of her fountain pen brooch pins I have found.
These pins were worn at a National Correspondents event in support of the press.
