Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton is an American politician, attorney, and author who has been a leading figure in the Democratic Party for more than three
decades. She served as First Lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001, U.S. Senator from New York from 2001 to 2009, and Secretary of State under
President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2013. Clinton was the Democratic nominee for president in 2016, losing to Donald J. Trump.
Background
Born on October 26, 1947, in Chicago, Illinois, Clinton graduated from Wellesley College and Yale Law School. She married Bill Clinton in 1975, and the two
built long political careers, with Bill serving as President and Hillary later holding several key government roles.
Career
As First Lady, Clinton led efforts on healthcare reform and women’s issues, becoming one of the most politically active presidential spouses in history. She was
elected to the Senate in 2000, serving two terms before joining the Obama administration as Secretary of State. Her time in office was marked by foreign
policy challenges and controversies, including the 2012 Benghazi attack and her private email server use.
2016 Presidential Campaign
Clinton became the first woman nominated for president by a major party but lost the election to Donald Trump. The campaign was defined by deep political
polarization, questions about government transparency, and widespread criticism of the political establishment.
