Hillary Clinton

Born in Chicago in 1947, Hillary Rodham graduated from Wellesley and Yale Law School before moving to Arkansas in 1975 to marry Bill Clinton. She co-founded Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families in 1977 and became the first woman partner at Little Rock's Rose Law Firm. As First Lady from 1993 to 2001, she pushed for healthcare reform - her 1994 plan failed in Congress, but she later helped create the State Children's Health Insurance Program. In 2000 she became the first female senator from New York, then lost the 2008 Democratic primary to Barack Obama. As his Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013, she advocated intervention in Libya, organized sanctions against Iran, and pivoted U.S. strategy toward Asia - while her use of a private email server became the most-covered story of her 2016 presidential campaign against Donald Trump. She won the popular vote by nearly three million but lost the Electoral College, then wrote books, launched a progressive fundraising group, and took posts at Georgetown, Queen's University Belfast, and Columbia.
