When Andrea Mitchell was a new reporter at NBC’s Washington Bureau, she found a colleague, mentor and friend in Judy Woodruff, now co-anchor of “PBS NewsHour” with Gwen Ifill.

And despite her extraordinary success on the national stage, she remains rooted in her hometown values. When young women ask me how it’s possible to have it all, I still don’t have a good answer. But I point to Judy Woodruff as the best example of a woman of great character who has succeeded in work and, more importantly, in life.
