Hillary Clinton

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s lifelong passion encompassed public service for the needs of children and equal rights for all. In 1993, she became the first First Lady to hold a law degree. Hillary headed the President’s Task Force on Health Care Reform. Even though the effort failed, she continued to work on the issue, helping to establish the 1997 Children's Health Insurance Program. Hillary broke new ground as the first First Lady to become a U.S. Senator, then to serve as Secretary of State. She ran for president twice, and in 2016, she became the first woman nominated by a major party as its presidential candidate and won the popular vote.
