WASHINGTON It has been 15 years since Nancy Pelosi made history as the first woman to be elected speaker of the House.On Wednesday, that history was placed on display on the walls of the Capitol, when Ms. Pelosi's official portrait was unveiled and set to be hung in the speaker's lobby, adorned until now only with gilt-framed oil portraits of the white men who preceded Ms. Pelosi in the post, including Sam Rayburn, Tip O'Neill and Frederick Muhlenberg, the House's first speaker.
