Hillary Clinton just made history by snagging the Democratic presidential nomination. She is the first woman in the 240-year history of the United States to lead a major party's presidential ticket.

She's come a long way from being First Lady, and these 41 pictures show just how far.

Hillary Clinton, First Lady of the United States, throws a thumbs-up during a presidential election victory celebration in 1992. Her husband might be doing the same for her, 24 years later.

Here she is talking to kids at the Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago, October 21, 1993.

As First Lady, she did a lot of traveling, like to Bosnia in 1996 to meet US soldiers.
