7 GOP Women Cosmo Excluded in Potential First Female President List
4. Condoleezza Rice
Condoleezza Rice has broken her share of glass ceilings already, becoming the first woman to be a National Security Adviser and then the first African-American woman to be Secretary of State, both under President George W. Bush.
Rice has a strong academic background. She earned a bachelor of arts at age 19, later graduating with a masters and a doctorate. Rice then became a professor at Stanford University.
Since Bush left office, she has remained in the public eye, having a memoir published in 2011 and becoming the first woman member of the Augusta National Golf Club in 2012.
