From her web site, https://pelosi.house.gov/biography-0
"Nancy Pelosi is the 52nd Speaker of the House of Representatives, having made history in 2007 when she was elected the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House. Pelosi made history again in January 2019 when she regained her position second-in-line to the presidency – the first person to do so in more than six decades"

Jan 4th, 2007 was the great day that she first became Speaker. She served as Speaker from 2007 - 2011, and then again from 2019 - the present. And, of course, she served as the Minority Leader from 2011 - 2019.
