Hillary Clinton

As first lady, she changed the face of the modern women’s movement at the 1995 U.N. women’s conference in Beijing, proclaiming that “women’s rights are human rights, and human rights are women’s rights.” As senator and secretary of state, she managed to put women’s rights at the forefront of U.S. foreign policy. Through the Clinton Global Initiative, she continued her tireless efforts for women and girls empowerment across the globe. If her 2016 presidential bid is successful, she will become the most powerful woman in the world,- perhaps even world history. Safe to say Hillary Clinton’s global impact on women is nearly unparalleled.
