Hillary Clinton has been a major part of our culture for decades. At first, she was in the shadow of her husband, Bill Clinton. Soon, though, Hillary embraced being the career politician of the family, and she held prominent governmental roles long after her husband’s second term. All of this culminated in a failed presidential run of her very own where she lost against Donald Trump.
Because she has been in the public eye for so long, Hillary Clinton has done a pretty good job of controlling her image. But this doesn’t change the fact that she is one of the most well-documented people in the entire world, and there are plenty of photos out there that she likely didn’t want the world to see.
