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.
Ringing any bells?
Hillary has an impressive resume, by anyone's standards.

Yes. Hillary Clinton, possibly the most famous woman in the world in 2016, and certainly the most famous female politician, was referred to simply as "wife Hillary Clinton".
Interesting.
I think you meant "former Secretary of State and candidate who won more popular votes than Donald Trump," @GMA. https://t.co/eWysA6br7V— Gabe Ortíz (@Gabe Ortíz) 1484928159
