An attorney who advocated for child welfare and women’s rights prior to becoming first lady, Hillary Clinton was ready to hit the ground running alongside husband President Bill Clinton as he began his term in 1993.
She proved herself to be as invested in navigating policy as her husband, who appointed First Lady Clinton to lead the Task Force on National Health Care Reform. Despite criticism for that decision, among others, throughout her husband’s administration, Hillary Clinton remained steadfast in her role as FLOTUS.
After her tenure in the White House, Hillary Clinton went on to become the first first lady to run for political office. She’s been a New York Senator as well as the Secretary of State, in addition to becoming the first woman ever to be nominated for president on a major party’s ticket in 2016.
Served: 1993 – 2001
