1947 photo of Aung San Suu Kyi (baby in the foreground) with her mother, Khin Kyi, father, Aung San, and brothers, Aung San Oo and Aung San Lin. In 1991, Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, something she says she heard about only on the radio in her lonely lakeside detention in the capital, Yangon. In 1990, her party triumphed in elections rigged against it, only to be deprived of the chance to take power when the election results were ignored. In 1989, she faced down the guns of the regime’s soldiers. Why is she so celebrated? Before 2010, she spent fifteen of the previous twenty-one years under house arrest, jailed by the country’s military rulers. Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi is today feted around the world.
