She served as U.S. secretary of state from 2009 to 2013 and before that as U.S. senator from New York from 2001 to 2009. She became the First Lady of the United States in 1993 when her husband, Bill Clinton, was elected to the first of his two terms of office. After working on political campaigns through high school and college, she received a law degree from Yale University in 1973. She moved to Arkansas in 1974, where she would go on to marry Clinton, teach at the University of Arkansas Law School, practice law, work on the board of the Legal Services Corporation under the Carter administration, and serve as the First Lady of Arkansas during her husband’s term as governor.
