18-month-old Victoria rises with her mother to address the European Parliament after a voting session.
Politician Licia Ronzulli first caught our attention back in September, 2010, when, as an Italian member of the European Parliament, she was photographed casting her vote during a plenary session in Strasbourg, France with her tiny baby Victoria lovingly snuggled up in a baby-wrap. It was a captivating image that prompted us to call Ronzulli a quintessential working mom.
Clearly never one to let parental duties preclude her from fulfilling her civic responsibilities, Ronzulli brought little Victoria back to Parliament on Wednesday for another plenary session. One might almost suspect that Victoria is Ronzulli’s secret weapon because, honestly, who could be so cold hearted as to vote against that adorable little girl?
All in favor say "Awwwwwwww."

Maybe she will inspire her daughter to pursue this career when she becomes an adult.
Real women do what they have to do. Great for her!
Admiration and respect for the European Parliment; lovely, uplifting, article.
That little girl must be very well behaved. If it was me and my 2 year old in those pictures, you'd be seeing a kid constantly trying to take his clothes off and shove things up his nose.
This should be voted as one of the best photographs of the year.
What a wonderful idea! To bad companies don't understand the need to be a parent.
Leave you little darling at home,I'm sure the women makes enough for kiddie care.It's government not a nursery...and you wonder why they come up with stupid laws?
