Hillary Rodham Clinton served
as the 67th U.S. Secretary of State from 2009 until 2013, after nearly
four decades in public service. Her "smart power" approach to foreign
policy repositioned American diplomacy and development for the 21st
century. Clinton played a central role in restoring America’s standing
in the world, reasserting the United States as a Pacific power, imposing
crippling sanctions on Iran and North Korea, responding to the Arab
Awakening and negotiating a ceasefire in the Middle East. Earlier, as
First Lady and Senator from New York, she traveled to more than 80
countries as a champion of human rights, democracy, and opportunities
for women and girls. Clinton also worked to provide health care to
millions of children, create jobs and opportunity, and support first
responders who risked their lives at Ground Zero. In her historic
campaign for President, Clinton won 18 million votes.
