Margaret Jane Moriano (born Margaret Jane Barrett) is a Vitosian politician who has served as the 23rd prime minister of Vitosium as well as the deputy prime minister to her predecessor, Sherman Salantino. She is heavily remembered as the first woman to become prime minister, leading the country towards a peaceful path following the World War and for championing for women's rights her entire life. She is still alive today.
During her run as prime minister, many of her policies gave women the rights they were fighting for.
Personal Life
She was born as Margaret Jane Barrett to Lawrence and Sally Barrett in 1922. In 1934, Lawrence Barrett was arrested following his divorce to Sally, now Sally Moriano.
When Maggie was 17, she began to fight for women's rights in the country and began to go by Margaret Moriano as opposed to Barrett, despite not legally being able to change her name at the time. She met Sherman Salantino during a rally in 1944 when she was 22. They had briefly dated but decided to remain friends a year later.
In 1950, she married Maxwell Douglas Tellend, a senator. Tellend passed away in 2013 after 63 years of marriage.
In 1951, once her and Salantino's policy of allowing women to change their name came about, she had her name legally changed to Margaret Jane Moriano to honour her mother who had passed away two years prior. Her husband, Max Tellend, notably supported and encouraged this decision.
The Tellend Family
The Tellend Family is remarked as one of the most successful in recent history due to the wealth each of the Tellends accumulated, totalling $8.5 billion meo by 2010. Maggie Moriano and Max Tellend had seven children together.

Political Career
In 1948, one of the candidates for the office, Sherman Salantino, surprised the whole country when he announced that women's rights activist, Maggie Moriano, was going to be his deputy prime minister. At the end of the year, Salantino won the election and both he and Moriano took office.
In 1950, Salantino passed a policy that allowed women to vote even with their maiden name, something that was oddly illegal beforehand. He praised Moriano's insight and contribution which lead to the policy. The next year, Salantino would pass another policy allowing women to legally change their name despite being married, which lead to Maggie changing her last name. The year of Salantino's assassination had him change the gender pay from 75:25 to 70:30.
In 1954, during an emergency election following Salantino's assassination, she managed to win by 63%. One of her most important policies is having the ratio of gender pay of 70:30 changed to 58:42. Near the end of the year, following the end of the World War, she also sought to lead the country in a much more peaceful path, hoping to use the tragedies of war to prevent any more wars in the nation.
In Media
In 2010, a documentary on Moriano, titled "Maggie Moriano: A True Vitosian Hero" was released, gaining $340 million meo in the box office. The movie discusses Moriano's past and her influence in women's rights and politics.
