Rousseff was born into a poor family in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Her father was a bank clerk; her mother, a schoolteacher. She grew up in a politically active household, and she was drawn to politics from an early age.
Rousseff joined the Workers' Party in 1980, and she quickly rose through the ranks. She served as a member of the Brazilian Congress from 1991 to 2002, and she was appointed Minister of Mines and Energy in 2003.
In 2010, Rousseff was elected President of Brazil. She was the first woman to hold the office. Her presidency was marked by a number of significant achievements, including the expansion of social programs and the reduction of poverty.
However, Rousseff's presidency was also marred by controversy. She was accused of corruption and mismanagement of the economy. In 2016, she was impeached by the Brazilian Congress and removed from office.
