Lentorama 2007: The Non-Canonized Catholic Person of the Day
Today's person is Hanna Suchocka, who to date is the only woman ever to serve as Prime Minister of Poland, holding the position for a little over a year in the early 1990s during Lech Walesa's presidency. From what little I've read it seems like she was a compromise choice for the job, but she replaced and was replaced by the same guy, so it doesn't seem like much of a compromise.
She was named Poland's ambassador to the Vatican in 2001, a role she still fills.
Hmm, maybe I'll make this an all-Polish week to wrap things up.
