I think she knew that assasination was likely and had accepted that possibility. Knowing from past experience as Prime Minister that the real power of the country lies in the military and not the government I suspect she also accepted the fact that her death might bring about change perhaps more than her election would.
Regardless, she approached her role fearlessly, which is usually an admired trait in leaders. And in a world where people regularly die for causes, it's nice to see that sacrifices for democracy are made at the leadership level and not just an expectation of foot soldiers.
