#OnThisDay, 13 Mar 1990, Ertha Pascal-Trouillot became the provisional president of Haiti. She was the first woman to hold the role.

She stabilised the country for long enough for it to hold a free and fair election.

“I accepted the position in the name of Haitian women. I did it as a service to my country. I did it with love and determination.”
