Clinton, who began college as a Republican, recounts how she realized she was actually a Democrat.
By now, it's safe to say that the early promise has been borne out; had Hillary Rodham Clinton "merely" attended Yale Law, served on the staff of the Senate Watergate Committee, become a respected children's rights advocate, been the first female partner at her law firm, been a mother, and served as First Lady of Arkansas, we would think of her as a leader. And yet she has by now spent two additional decades at the very heart of the national consciousness—as a sometimes-embattled First Lady, as a distinguished senator from New York, as a groundbreaking 2008 Presidential candidate, and now as the 67th Secretary of State. Clinton has outlasted the smears to top Gallup's "most admired woman in America" a record 16 times since 1993.
