Radiating power, authority and dominance, Hilary Rodham Clinton is one of the most powerful female politicians around the world. Raised in a conservative family, and supporting the Republicans, her political preferences soon changed as she strongly voiced against war and became a staunch supporter of the Democrats in 1968. Ever since a young age, she took an active role in politics in school and college. Graduating from Yale, she pursued a career in law for twelve years, sitting on the board of director of many prominent corporates and non-profit organizations. With her husband getting elected as the Governor of Arkansas, she became the First Lady of Arkansas - a position she held for twelve years, from 1979 to 1981 and 1983 to 1992. From 1993 until 2001, she was the First Lady of the United States. Furthermore, she served as the US Senator from New York from 2001 to 2009. During her stint at important positions, she brought about various reforms and initiated new policies in educational and health care sectors. She was the leading presidential candidate for the 2008 Democratic Presidential nominations failing which she was appointed by President Barack Obama as the 67th United States Secretary of State.
