Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of the National League for
Democracy, Myanmar's main opposition party, was placed under house arrest for
14 years by the military junta that formerly ruled Myanmar. Following her
release in Nov. 2010, Suu Kyi, commonly referred to as "the Lady," has rapidly
become the face of reformist Myanmar as well as a darling of the Western media. Above, Suu Kyi greets Hillary Clinton during a
press conference at Suu Kyi's residence in Yangon, Myanmar, on Dec. 2, 2011.
