Aung San SuuKyi is Burma's pro-democracy leader who fought against the former socialist leader. She spent over 15 years under house arrest for her political causes and commitment to democracy. As the daughter of Aung San, she was educated in Burma, India, and the UK. She co-founded Burma's National League for Democracy party and won elections in 1990, though the results were ignored by the military dictatorship. Known as "The Lady," she became a symbol of hope for democracy in Burma.
