My Take
Ségolène Royal earns my respect for a single historic fact: in 2007 she became the first woman in French history to reach the second round of a presidential election. She lost to Sarkozy, but breaking that barrier opened a door for every woman who followed. Beyond the headline, she was a lawyer and a regional council president for a decade, so the substance matches the symbolism. Born in Senegal and rising to the top of French politics, her border-crossing life is itself striking to me. I am always drawn to people who pry doors open rather than wait for them.
