he was going to do anything for her, but she's pouring over his copy and she edits it. white files a story, editors a little skeptical, is this camelot a little bit much? she insists, no camelot, no story. >> country was enjoying a brief interregnum before vietnam, before watergate, an innocent america willing to be lured into fantasy. but it was a fantasy that was so appealing. >> jackie prepares to leave the white house for the last time. >> dear mr. chairman president, so now one of the last nights i will spend in the white house, in one of the last letters i will write, i would like to write you my message.

>> but jackie's letter is not to a family member or close friend, but soviet premier nikita khrushchev. >> i send it because i know how much my husband cared about peace. used to quote your words in some of his speeches. in the next world the survivors will envy the dead. you and he were adversaries but you were allied in determination that the world shouldn't be blown up. >> her final act in the white house really revealed the depth of her seriousness. it's in that letter to nikita khrushchev, urging him to continue the nuclear disarmament talks that had begun with her husband. >> the danger which troubled my husband was that war might be started, not so much by the big men, but by the little ones. while big men know the needs for self-control and restraint, little men are sometimes moved

by fear and pride. it's really good let's continue for future generations. >> if the mark of a great president is understanding the big issues of the day, the mark of a great first lady is a more subtle thing, and jackie got this. and that is understanding the essence of the time. and america as a global player, she perfectly reflected that. and in fact shaped it. >> although she became jackie o., and had a whole life as a book editor and everything else that she did subsequent to the white house, she was in the end inevitably defined by what she did as first lady.

i can only tell you that 00:11:51:18 based on what he that has done 00:11:54:16 and what he cares about and the kind of map he is, he should be the next. of the united states, bill clinton. >> my real campaign slogan, when you think of hillary, think of our real campaign slogan, buy one, get one free. >> this is just unprecedented. i mean, no president had ever cam pained saying if you elect me, you're going to get my wife also. that was not anything american people were ready for.

>> hillary clinton is running for president. actually, she's running for her husband who's running for president. team clinton, you elect him, you get me. >> what will she represent? >> you need a president who wants to bring us together, who wants to heal the divisions between races. >> you couldn't watch the campaign and not know that she was extremely important to him, the most trust eed advisor he h. she became a lightning rod for criticism. people understand this story of this slice of history, she will be given the credit she is due.

>> the american people have voted to make a new beginning. i want to begin this night by thanking my wife without whom i would not be here tonight. and who i believe will be one of the greatest first ladies in the history of this republic. >> four more years! four more years! >> the clintons are the van guard of the baby boomers coming into politics. it felt like a whole new

generation coming into power. the music was different. everything seemed different. >> this is the first president whose wife, the first lady of the united states has her own independent professional career. >> over the next eight years hillary would rebring the rules for an entire generation of women. >> what i represent is generational change. it's not just about me. what i like about all the women who been in the white house is they've all tried to do what's best for themselves and their family and the country as they tried to define it. >> hillary was not going to be a traditional first lady. the movement had changed it forever. hillary was the first generation that was going to start that change. >> i just hope that you not only have a lot of fun tonight but you have fun for the next four years as you help us change this country for the better. thank you all. >> some people loved it.

i loved it. my mother loved it. my mother was so excited. a woman who's actually trying to do something different. this is great. there were people who it was very discom fitting. >> mrs. clinton is moving the office out of the east wing and into the west. >> the first day we all gathered around this table, i remember her saying we're a small team and i really want people devoted to this administration and the work that we have at hand. >> i can't help but notice that this is an all chick staff. >> kneneil's over there. >> the team renames their new west wing office hillary-land. >> she wanted to use this amazing opportunity as first lady to make advances. she has the praise of john

wesley that she has returned to over the years which is do all that you can. >> policies were going to start to benefit people who were on the margins of society. >> it was the sense that together we could really have positive impact and she embud in all of us that sense of purpose. >> hillary's political skbrurny started in a surprisingly different place. hillary was raised in a mid class meth audit family. her father, hue rodham was an enormous influence on hillary, because he was a drill master. he taught her that emotion is weakness, you can't ef show emotion. >> at one point she says she came home with a report card

that was covered in as and her father's reaction was you must go to an easy school. >> hue rodham was a die-hard republican and ep encouraged his daughter too campaign for republican candidates like barry goldwater. >> his father was furious when she went to the east coast to one of the finest women's schools in the country. >> hillary majored in political science and became president of the wellesley young republicans in her freshman year. >> but as a child of the 60s, events in the country started to influence her politics. >> it's a fascinating turn that she took at wellesley. she sort of found her own violation, started to look at the vietnam war differently, talk about women's rights. she game an outspoken democrat.

>> she would do rallies on the steps of her college and bring other women along to get into politics. >> in hillary's final year her peers picked her to be the first student ever to speak on their behalf at commencement. what happened that day became a seminal moment of hillary's early career. >> distinguished senator edward brooks had been invited to give the graduation address. he was a liberal republican. he talked about the need for change. and she really disagreed with what he said. >> as he was speaking she took notes, right. and when she got up she basically threw away her speech. >> and it is a great pleasure to present to this audience ms. hillary rot ham. >> what i'm speaking for today is for all of us, the 400 of us. i find myself in a familiar

position, that of reacting. >> instead of going into, i think what was anticipated that she would say, she basically responded to the senator. >> part of the problem with just empathy with professed goals is that empathy doesn't do us anything. we feel that for doing our leaders have viewed politics as the art of the impossible, and the chen now is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be the impossible possible. >> it was recognized as groundbreaking at the time. >> she was very much surpassing the expectations of what women would conventionally do in those times. >> the june issue of life magazine, which was the photographic magazine of the time featured hillary rodham at the age of 21, very unusual to

feature a young woman in politics. >> she was already making a big impression on the political landscape. >> everybody knew, wow, this person is destined for important things. >> 24 years later, now in the white house, hillary is poised to bring her passion for change to her role as first lady. >> the sharp politician or the conventional first lady. for the whole family. trusted soothing vapors, from vicks hey!

president clinton makes an appointment. >> today i am announcing the formation of the president's task force on national health reform. this task force will be chaired by the first lady, hillary clinton. i am grateful that hillary has agreed to chair that task force, not only because she'll be sharing some of the heat i expect to generate. >> universal health care. >> and that was a shock to not only people in washington but people who were working in the white house.

>> what factor did you consider? >> it wasn't a discussion. it wasn't an opgts. the president and the first lady made the decision that she was going to lead the health care. did i think it was a good idea to run it out of the white house? no. and no one else really did, either. >> any doubts that hillary clinton will have a big role in the administration, the president put them to rest today. >> some say it's not appropriate. >> who elected hillary clinton to make policy? >> it was very controversial. so many attacks from so many places. >> we didn't left you here in washington. >> why is she taking on this big role. there was charges of nepotism. >> she doesn't get along with the rest of the staff. >> ruffled a rot of feathers and people did not know how to take it. >> the one hand you complain that she's too powerful. on the other, you claim she's

underqualified. >> why would i not ep gauge this incredibly smart person who i happen to be married to to help do these things that i want to get done as president. ? >> over the years, we've influenced each other. we have a wonderful relationship going back to our days in law school. >> the couple met at yale where hillary was only one of 27 students in a class of 235. there was this tall handsome southern man with elvis side burns and hickey boots who would follow her after classes kind of panting at the back of her net, couldn't wait to get to know her. >> he would tell friends she's the most captivating some pelg person i've ever met. >> his intellectual equal, and i

think that excited bill enormously. >> after graduating from yale in 1973, hillary moved to washington, head hunted to work own the watergate investigation just a moment i shall resign the presidency effective at knoop tomorrow. >> bill had proposed marriage several times. after less than a year in washington, hillary follows her heart to arkansas. >> one of her friends traveled to arkansas with her and the spire road trip tried to convince her not to do it. >> you're crazy, hillary. you'll be throwing away your life. you are a big deal. you can really go places in politics. >> hillary said she thought she might be crazy, too, but she was just in love with him. >> the couple married in 1975. >> the governor of arkansas and his wife hilly. >> bill quickly climbed the political ladder and by 1979 was goirp of arkansas. hillary joined a prestigious law

firm. >> she was one of the first women in the state to be hired by a mainline law firm, and later she was named partner, so her trajectory became very swiflt. >> you're less than 40, you don't have any children, you don't use your husband's name, you practice law. does it concern you that maybe other people feel that you don't fit >> i'm not 40. but that, hopefully, will be cured by age. eventually, i will be. >> in the old days, signified rebelliousness and unwillingness to conform. >> she had this feminist idea,

that you didn't have to take your husband's name when you were married. this was just unthinkable to the establishment of arkansas. >> i've not wanted to upset anybody. i really thought i was doing it for the right reason. so, i'm thinking of, perhaps, changing my name to, i don't know, martha washington or something. >> reporter: to win over the people of arkansas, hillary decides she needs to radically change her image. >> it was so excruciating, she had to forfeit her own identity. she got rid of the big, fat glasses. she took his name, in order to pass for what other people's idea of what a wife should be. >> warm welcome to hillary rodham clinton. >> bill enlisted hillary to head up a number of initiatives. >> she took on big issues, and, of course, the biggest issue was education. >> the charge that we were given as the education-standards committee, was to come up with

standards, which we believed defined quality education. >> she was an activist. she really tried to make a difference in people's lives. >> i have yet to find anyone, who believes that we cannot do better if we try. >> that should have been a clue of how she might proceed when she was first lady of the united states. >> hello, this is hillary clinton. i want to thank you for letting me speak with you about an issue that is central to our children's future. solving our nation's health care crisis. >> i remember being on the health care reform task force. working with people who'd worked on health care for years, before i arrived in washington. showing me a folder about all of the times that health care had been tried and all of the times it had failed. hillary would say to me, roll up your sleeves. think about what we can do. she really saw this as an opportunity to really fix the

health care system, in this country. >> thank you so very much. >> drawing on her experience in arkansas, hillary heads up a 500-person task force with a dream of health care for all americans. >> the stakes in health care reform are high for all americans. >> how wonderful, to have somebody with her credentials and ability. >> she worked her tail off. i remember her saying, it's friday, two more work days until sunday. >> do it piecemeal, step by step. >> she had a different idea about how she wanted to work it. it was a choice. high risk, high gain. >> i'm here as a mother, a wife. >> after eight months of hard work over five days of grueling testimony, hillary presents the

findings of the task force to congress. >> the kind of preventive services that you and i want for all children will be available. >> for hillary, it was the natural culmination of what she had been working for, all her life, up until then. >> if we take what we have learned from employers and we move it to the national level. we want to get away from the micromanagement. >> hillary is the first lady, ever, to testify before the house of representatives as a lead witness. >> there are considerable, substantial savings. >> many people were really surprised that she was that prepared. that she was that smart, quite frankly, and had done her research. >> greatly admire the knowledge and expertise and energy that you bring to this issue. >> it was who are nuanced view of the issues. she actually understood the policy, at a level of depth and sophistication that, usually, no

one in the room knew. except, maybe, there were two or three experts on a narrow part of what we were talking about. >> i think there going to be an awful lot of young people who will aspire to be like you and that will be good for this country. thank you for your help to us. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> in spite of hillary's success, right-wing forces are already conspiring against her. >> the notion was she had undue sway over her husband and over the administration. so, she was the power behind the throne. and the goal was to do a take-down job. you're strong. you power through chronic migraine-15 or more headache days a month each lasting 4 hours or more. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.

david brock, investigator for the american spectator. you have a cover story shows a picture of president clinton. his shoes are off. he is tiptoeing down the street. what's this story about? >> abuse of power and corruption here. >> i was an investigative writer for the american spectator. and the clinton beat was the sexy beat, at the time. it was an effort, journalistically, to destroy the clintons, and to destroy his presidency. you had republican rule, for 12 years, and that was the way things were supposed to be, as far as the republicans and the conservatives were concerned. really, from the moment bill clinton was elected, the right wing would exploit scandals. there was a premium on going back to arkansas, and trying to unturn every rock in their past.

>> you had the american spectator, that david brock worked for, mounting a concerted campaign. what they call the arkansas project. where they dug up every bit of dirt they could against bill and hillary. >> i would chase down every right-wing talking point, every right-wing conspiracy theory. >> that led to the publication of a great story. >> two troopers helped him arrange extramarital affairs. >> not only were right-wing opponents, like david brock, getting their stories picked up in the press. but also, the first lady, herself, is becoming a prime target. >> it's called travel-gate. seven longtime travel officials were fired. >> first lady in the white house were trying to make these people scapegoats. >> scandal after scandal start to hit the media. >> stories to hit the headlines are splashing mud in hillary

clinton's direction. >> it was a drumbeat. a constant effort to bring her down. >> most roads lead from the first lady, and back to her. >> and as we look back, none of these charges were -- were proven. >> is there a fundamental distrust of the clintons in america? >> i hope not. i mean, that would be something that i would regret. >> do you ever look in the mirror and just wish i never got into this? >> no, never. never. >> not normally do you focus on the first lady. but in the magazine where i worked, what worked for conservatives was attacking women. and there was misogyny underneath a lot of the attacks. i think that's one. i think, two, she was a political force, in her own rite. even then, people recognized her talents that made her a unique target for the right wing. >> critics say her once-dazzling image is now tarnished.

>> it was an attempt to mischaracterize her. to skew her motivations in the most negative, unflattering light. >> someone who was a real woman, with flesh and blood, came out as a caricature that many people, nowadays, continue to believe is the real hillary. so, you had lying hillary. >> saint or sinner? >> criminal hillary. >> she was demonized, over and over again. >> republicans, today, continued a multifront attack on hillary clinton. >> you are -- you are -- >> let me tell you, it is a bad and dangerous thing to do, to say that the first lady of this land is a liar. >> i sometimes don't know what i have been accused of, from day to day. so, i mean, it's not surprising, to me, that people would take a look at the flurry of accusations and say, oh, my gosh, there must be something wrong. >> one day, we were riding together and she was reading the

newspapers. she said, you know, if i were reading this and i saw this -- read this discussion of this person, i wouldn't like her, either. but, that's not me. >> i looked very closely at the various scandals. i concluded that these scandals were phony, she was someone of high integrity. but in the right wing, you couldn't say that hillary was a good person and that accelerated my departure from the right. >> with all the scandals eroding the public's trust in the clintons, skepticism of the health care plan escalates. >> protests were being planned. she was being heckled when she went out and did health care events. it got so scary, secret service didn't want her to go up on stage. >> reporter: in september, 1994, republicans in the insurance industry succeed in killing hillary's health-care

initiative. >> friends say she is looking back on her role, and trying to figure out what happened. >> well, it was painful. there was a large piece of this that was just sexist. there's no question, in my mind. >> i mean, she's faced an onslaught that no woman in the white house has had to face. but, hillary clinton doesn't qui quit. >> behind the scenes, she works. >> she could get up, shake herself off, and said we have to keep trying to do the best we can. >> and it was she, who kept pleading that, at a minimal, let's cover the children. that they deserve better. >> there isn't anything as important as taking care of our children. for me, this is an issue that goes way beyond politics.

>> she took, to heart, what she had heard, as she crisscrossed the united states. >> she actually worked on legislation that made a difference. and eventually, we got the children's health insurance act, which covers millions of children, today. and that's what's spectacular about hillary. she doesn't give up.

for those of you who thought that, after the defeat of health care reform, hillary clinton would bake cookies.

think again. >> being an international first lady, you know, it was really her moment to come out and redefine herself. >> in 1995, the first lady is invited to speak at the united nations' conference on women. no one, least of all hillary, is surprised when some in the administration try to block her. >> u.s.-china relations are rapidly deteriorating. >> there were those within the government, who felt she might set our china-foreign policy back. do we really want this to happen? >> she said, i can't go as first lady. i'll just get on a plane and go as a private citizen. and we're all rolling our eyes going, that is clearly not going to happen. >> she said, excuse my french, [ bleep ] them. i'm going. not as first lady. i'm going as hillary clinton. here's my passport, here is my

credit card, book me a flight. >> and i said, um, okay, i'll do it. >> hillary has been preparing her whole life for this speech. >> i remember, vividly, her looking at me and saying, you know, i just want to push the envelope as far as i can on women's rights and human rights. >> this is china. hillary's going into the den, if you will. where many girl babies were killed. where women are incredibly devalued. where human rights, in general, writ large, are devalued. >> reporter: in the audience are women from 189 countries. >> so, we were hidden from the crowd but we were on the side of the stage. both of us, absolutely nervous. the stakes were so high. >> the great challenge of this conference is to give voice to women everywhere, whose experiences go unnoticed, whose words go unheard. >> you could feel, in that room,

almost a stillness. >> even now, in the late-20th century. >> there was no reaction in the audience. we, suddenly, looked at each other just in a panic like, maybe, we have completely miscalculated this. >> it is time for us to say here, in beijing, and for the world to hear that it is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as separate from human rights. >> and then, this massive eruption of response to what she had said. >> it is a violation of human rights when babies are denied food or drowned, simply because they are born girls. >> violence against women in our homes, rape being used as a tool of war, human trafficking of women. >> if there is one message that

echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women's rights, and human rights -- women's rights are human rights, once and for all. >> called them a violation of human rights and just planted a flag and said this is not acceptable. >> thank you very much. >> this was her proudest moment. we knew her as the first lady of the united states. when she finished, we saw her as a global leader. >> hillary would meet woman, over the years, who would say they had heard about that speech. women in africa. women in asia. women in south america. >> it was like she was a rock star. people lined the streets for her. it was such a disconnect from what was happening in the united states.

a year into bill clinton's second term, a scandal in the press. >> the white house faces another crisis over another allegation of sexual impropriety by the president. charges that president clinton had an affair with white house intern. >> we are told by sources she would frequently come into the west wing. >> i got a call from one of my editors saying can you check it out? >> at issue, whether mr. clinton had a sexual relationship with former white house intern, monica lewinsky. >> and i thought that's ridiculous. president of the united states having an affair with the intern. that's not happening. >> hillary clinton doesn't want to believe it happened. she says, in private comments to her friends, you know, this young woman at the white house was -- was sort of pursuing him. we can assume that's because that's the story that bill clinton was telling her.

>> i want you to listen to me, i'm going to say this again. i did not have sexual relations with that woman. >> she was the one who said these accusations aren't true. i love my husband. i believe him. >> we're going to fight this, you know? >> seven days later, hillary breaks her silence with an interview on national television. >> i can't say i knew what she was going to say. she kept her counsel to herself. >> ms. clinton, good morning. >> good morning, matt. >> all eyes are on hillary. what is she going to do? is she going to crumple? is she going to lash out at him? >> from my perspective, this is part of the continuing, political campaign against my husband. >> the old impulse that this is really all about their enemies

coming after them, yet again, kicks in. and she utters the phrase that will stick to her forever. >> the great story, here, is this vast, right-wing conspiracy, that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president. >> all the product of a vast, right-wing conspiracy. it did not play well. it didn't play well, at all. >> i find it astonishing. this is the first, first lady who's come up with this theory. >> she claims a conspiracy, rather than claiming the obvious that her husband's done something wrong her. >> it was taken as if she was denying bill clinton actually had a relationship with monica lewinsky and both were true. without the conspiracy, monica lewinsky would never have been unearthed so i thought there was a lot of credibility to what she was saying. but at the time, it was seen as

delusional. >> clinton returning to a familiar theme as she defends her husband. >> seven months after hillary's defense of her husband, the president addresses the nation. >> good evening. in a deposition, in january, i was asked questions about my relationship with monica lewinsky. indeed, i did have a relationship with ms. lewinsky that was not appropriate. in fact, it was wrong. >> when he finally admitted it to hillary, it was the same day that he came clean to the whole country, which is kind of incredible she was kept in the dark for that long. >> thank you for watching and good night. >> for hillary, that really did hit her in the gut. in the solar plexus. >> she was really angry at her husband. angrier than i've ever seen her ever be.

>> the scene that we all see, as they walk across the white house lawn, is their daughter, chelsea, walking between them. and holding their two hands. literally, holding this family together. >> i do think that, if she were not first lady of the united states, married to the president of the united states, she would have left him. >> as her husband faces the humiliation of impeachment in his last year as president, hillary considers her own political future. >> come the day that the united states senate is voting on whether to convict bill clinton, who has been impeached, and throw him out of office. hillary clinton is going through, what would it take to run for the senate in new york? a state, she had never lived in. >> a lot of excitement, behind
