Kazimira Danutė Prunskienė () (born 26 February 1943 in Švenčionys district municipality) was the first Prime Minister of Lithuania after the declaration of independence of 11 March 1990 and Minister of Agriculture in the government of Gediminas Kirkilas. Currently she is the leader of the Peasants and New Democratic Party Union. From 1981–1986, she worked in West Germany. She ran in the Lithuanian presidential election, 2004 against Valdas Adamkus, hoping to receive votes from supporters of impeached president Rolandas Paksas. She finished in second place in the first round and was defeated in the runoff. Prime Minister Kazimira Prunskienė is also a member of the Council of Women World Leaders, an International network of current and former women presidents and prime ministers whose mission is to mobilize the highest-level women leaders globally for collective action on issues of critical importance to women and equitable development. == Early life and education == Kazimira Danutė Stankevičiūtė was born in the village of Vasiuliškiai. Her father, Pranas Stankevičius, worked as a forest ranger and owned several hectares of land.〔Opfell. pgs. 161-168〕 Known as a jolly musician who played at many instruments at country weddings, including the guitar, fiddle, concertina, and a pipe of his own making, Stankevičius was killed by the NKVD in the Labanoras Forest when Kazimira was just one year old. Stankevičiūtė attended the Vilnius University, earning her degree in economics in 1965 and later earned her doctorate from the same university in the same subject during the late 1980s. Afterwards she stayed on at the university as first an instructor, then as a senior associate in the department of industrial economics.〔Opfell Pgs. 161-168〕 Before getting her first degree, Stankevičiūtė married to Povilas Prunskus, changing her name to Prunskienė. Between 1963 and 1971 she bore three children—a son named Vaidotas and two daughters called Rasa and Daivita. She would later divorce her first husband and remarried in 1989 to Algimantas Tarvidas.〔Opfell, pp. 161-168.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kazimira Prunskienė」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
