Where is Hillary and what has she been up too?
Since stepping down as secretary of State in February, Clinton has studiously avoiding political commentary (with the exception of a video announcing her support for same-sex marriage). She is writing a book about her years in the State Department; last week she accompanied her husband to the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas.
She also is raising her profile on the lucrative public speaking circuit: The night before the Bush library event, she addressed the National Multi Housing Council, a group of apartment firms. The speech was closed to the public.
Her remarks at her public appearances have been largely apolitical—focused on her efforts to expand women’s rights and women’s business opportunities around the world. In early April, she addressed a gala on behalf of the Vital Voices Global Partnership at the Kennedy Center in Washington and spoke at the Women in the World summit in New York, where she called women’s rights “the unfinished business of the 21st century.”
In mid-June, Clinton is scheduled to appear at a Chicago benefit for Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy, a group founded by President Obama’s former strategist David Axelrod and his wife, Susan. The Axelrods, who have a daughter with epilepsy, hope the event will raise more than $1 million for research. Susan Axelrod said in a statement that the event would honor Clinton as “one of the founding mothers of CURE.”
