Madeleine Albright, who fled the Nazis as a child in her native Czechoslovakia during World War Two but rose to become the first female US Secretary of State died on Wednesday at the age of 84, her family said.

While at the United Nations, she pressed for a tougher line against the Serbs in Bosnia after Bosnian Serb military forces laid siege to the capital Sarajevo.

Albright’s experience as a refugee prompted her to push for the United States to be a superpower which used that clout. The plain-spoken Albright took a tough line on a 1996 incident where Cuban jet fighters downed two unarmed US-based planes, saying: “This is not cojones, this is cowardice,” using a Spanish vulgarity meaning “testicles.”

She wrote a book about her signature jewelry, one of several bestsellers, explaining that the pins were a diplomatic tool.Balloons or flower pins would indicate she felt optimistic,while a crab or turtle would indicate frustration. One of his favourite students was Condoleezza Rice, who would become the second female secretary of state in 2005 under Republican President George W. Bush.She became fluent or close to it in six languages including Czech, French, Polish and Russian as well as English.
