Hillary Clinton is the first woman to be the major party's nominee for president
Hillary Clinton's life is a tribute to her dedication to service and her role as a trailblazing woman in American politics, from the halls of Yale Law School to the world stage as Secretary of State, and finally to her historic candidacy for president. Clinton has left a strong mark on U.S. history while facing criticism and opposition, demonstrating the enormous potential and promise for women in political leadership.
Hillary Clinton's rise from First Lady to United States Senator to Secretary of State to the first female candidate for President of the United States is unparalleled in American history. Her professional life is an example of her perseverance, resiliency, and dedication to public service in the face of criticism and opposition.
Hillary Clinton transformed the position of First Lady after her husband, Bill Clinton, was elected president in 1993. Rather than focusing on the usual ceremonial obligations, she pursued substantive efforts, including a sweeping plan to reform healthcare that was called "Hillarycare" but eventually failed.
When Hillary Clinton secured a Senate seat for New York in 2000, she became the first First Lady to be elected to public office. Her work as a Senator on subjects such as healthcare and the needs of 9/11 first responders won her a reputation for pragmatism and bipartisanship.
Clinton became one of the most well-traveled U.S. diplomats after being named Secretary of State by President Barack Obama in 2009. She was pivotal in the operation that resulted in Osama bin Laden's killing, in which she played a pivotal role, and in the "reset" of relations with Russia.
