2. Clinton, Hillary Diane Rodham (October 26, 1947) was the 
junior United States Senator from New York, and a leading candidate 
for the Democratic nomination in the 2008 presidential election. She is 
married to Bill Clinton – the 42nd President of the United States – and 
was the First Lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001.
She began her career as a lawyer after graduating from Yale Law 
School in 1973. As a Congressional legal counsel, she moved to Arkansas 
in 1974 and married Bill Clinton in 1975. She was later listed as one of 
the one hundred most influential lawyers in America in 1988 and 1991. 
She was the First Lady of Arkansas from 1979 to 1981 and from 1983 
to 1992 and was active in a number of organizations concerned with the 
welfare of children.
After moving to New York, Clinton was elected as a senator for New 
York State in 2000; this was the first time an American First Lady ran 
for public office and she is the first female senator from that state. In 
the Senate, she initially supported the George W. Bush administration 
on some foreign policy issues, which included voting for the Iraq War 
Resolution. She has subsequently opposed the administration on its 


155
conduct of the Iraq War and has opposed it on most domestic issues. 
She was re-elected by a wide margin in 2006. In the 2008 presidential 
nomination race, Clinton has won the most primaries and delegates of 
any woman in the U.S. history.
3. Joan of Arc, or Jeanne d’Arc in French (1412 – May 30, 1431) 
was a 15th century saint and national heroine of France. She was the 
only person ever recorded to have commanded the entire army of a nation 
at the age of seventeen. She was captured by the English and tried by an 
ecclesiastical court led by Bishop Pierre Cauchon, an English partisan; 
the court convicted her of heresy and she was burned at the stake by 
the English when she was nineteen years old. Twenty-four years later, 
the Vatican reviewed the decision of the ecclesiastical court, found her 
innocent, and declared her a martyr. She was canonized as a saint in 
1920.
She has remained an important figure throughout Western culture. 
From Napoleon to the present, French politicians of all leanings have 
invoked her memory. Major writers and composers have created works 
about her. Depictions of her continue in film, television, song, and even 
video games.
