Hillary Clinton is 76 and not stopping soon. See photos of the politician from her young days to her time as the First Lady and beyond here.

Hillary Clinton may be a well-known political name now, but she’s been rising through the ranks since she was just a college grad. The Chicago native, born October 26, 1947, has always been ambitious, and that drive took her far over the years.

She went to Wellesley College, then earned a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School, where she met her future husband Bill Clinton. When they married, she relocated to Arkansas, where she enjoyed a robust legal career. Hilary turned to public service as the First Lady Of Arkansas, where she advocated for children’s healthcare reform and women’s rights issues. She would continue that mission as First Lady. Following that, Hillary served as the Senator Of New York from 2000 to 2008.

Hillary has been at the center of several unsuccessful presidential campaigns. She failed to clinch the Democratic Party nomination in 2008, which instead went to Barack Obama, whom she would serve as his Secretary Of State. In 2016 she lost the national presidential race against one-term President Donald Trump.
