My mother and Vigdís Finnbogadóttir.

Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, the fourth President of Iceland, was the first woman in the world to be elected a constitutional Head of State.
In 1984 she was re-elected without opposing candidates. In 1988 she won the presidency for a third term, with ninety-two percent of the votes against a female candidate. President Vigdís was returned to office unopposed for her fourth term, in 1992. She left office in August 1996, having taken the decision not to stand again.
