Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton is a former United States Secretary of State, U.S. Senator, and First Lady of the United States. From 2009 to 2013, she was the 67th Secretary of State, serving under President Barack Obama.
Back in 1995, Hillary Clinton was famous for being someone else’s wife: as the First Lady to then President Bill Clinton. While in a diplomatically delicate situation (talking about women’s rights in China was always a difficult gig), Clinton’s clarion call was to declare that “It is time to break the silence… to no longer accept women’s rights as separate from human rights”. The applause still echoes.
