Édith Cresson is the First Woman Prime Minister in the History of France

The paper is dedicated to the first woman Prime Minister Édith Cresson in the history of France. She entered the path of a political career, joining the socialist movement in the 60s. Cresson already held key posts in the socialist party founded by François Mitterrand ten years later, and after he became the president of the country, she repeatedly became the Minister. Cresson was appointed head of government in 1991 and held this position for about a year. Her activities as Prime Minister were not successful. Nevertheless, she went down in history, because for the first time she became Prime Minister of France. After leaving the second person of the state, Cresson worked for some time in the European Commission, and since the 2000s, gradually moved away from politics.
