 According to a new poll, Hillary Clinton is
the most admired woman by Americans.
The recent survey asked 1,025 Americans
“What woman living today do you admire the most?” It was conducted
by USA TODAY in December, 2009. The majority of respondents answered that
they admire Hillary the most.
In the poll, 16 percent picked Hillary as America’s
most admired woman. She is the 67th United States Secretary of State. She was
born on October 26, 1947 in Chicago. She was a Senator for New York from
2001 to 2009. Before that, she served as First Lady from 1993 to 2001
when her husband Bill Clinton served as the 42nd President of the
U.S.
As a matter of fact, Hillary
Clinton has been among the top two most admired women in the yearly poll for the past
17 years! If you want to know more about her, you can read books about
her. In fact, she also wrote many books herself including an autobiography “Living History”
and “It Takes a Village.” They are
very interesting and enjoyable books.
 In the same
poll, Sarah Palin was chosen as the second most admired woman in America.
She was the Governor of Alaska. About 15 percent of the people chose
Palin as the most respectable woman. Other than Clinton and Palin,
the talk show queen Oprah Winfrey was chosen by 8 percent, and 2 percent

before Hillary Clinton. Also, Queen Elizabeth of England was chosen
