Hillary Clinton. Remember her?

Former U.S. Secretary of State. Former U.S. Senator from New York and First Lady of the United States.

Democratic nominee for President of the United States, and winner of the popular vote in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, which could have made her the first female President in history.

Long-time politician, campaigner, diplomat, law school graduate and philanthropist.
