# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir entered Iceland's parliament in 1978, representing Reykjavík constituencies for the next 35 years. She served as Minister of Social Affairs from 1987 to 1994 and again from 2007 to 2009. When she lost a 1994 bid to lead the Social Democratic Party, she raised her fist and declared "Minn tími mun koma!" — "My time will come!" — a phrase that entered the language. She left to form her own party, National Awakening, which won 7.1% in 1995 before folding back into the Social Democrats by 2000. The 2008 financial crisis brought her moment: she became prime minister on 1 February 2009 in a minority cabinet, then won a majority that spring. Forbes named her among the world's 100 most powerful women. She stepped down in 2013, retiring as Iceland's longest-serving MP.
