When people say that Hillary Clinton never gets treated differently because of her gender, point them to this video. In 1979, when Bill Clinton had just started as governor of Arkansas and she was the first lady of the state, she sat down for an interview with a local program called In Focus. She was 32 years old at the time.

At the start of the interview, the host describes her merits: she got her undergrad degree from Wellesley, her law degree from Yale, and she was a practicing attorney in Little Rock.
Throughout the half-hour-long video, he asks personal questions about how she manages to keep her own idenitity while being a wife.

Here are some of the moments that stand out.

On her profession getting in the way of quality time with Bill Clinton

When discussing how both she and Bill are busy people who don't spend enough time together, the interviewer says, "Ms. Rodham, if you just wouldn't be a practicing attorney, you see, that would eliminate some of the problems of not being together."

She answers, "I think that people who are married to politicians are under a tremendous strain because unless you have a pretty strong sense of your own self-identity, it becomes very easy to be buffeted out by all the people that are around your husband."

On not being interested in social activities like garden parties

The interviewer says, "One gets the impression you're really not at all that interested in state dinners and teas and garden parties, the kinds of things we tend to associate with governor's wives," to which she responds that she has all kinds of interests, including social and civic events as professional ones.

On why she didn't take the Clinton last name

The interviewer says, "I should think you must get very tired of being asked questions about your decision not to use your husband's name."

She answers, "I really did not want to mix my professional activities with his political activities. I didn't want anyone ever to think that I was either trying to take advantage of his position or in some way riding on it. Keeping my name was part of that as well as my professional reputation that I'd already built up."

Clinton went on to change her name during his second campaign for governor when she had had Chelsea.

On people thinking she's too liberal for not using his last name

The interviewer asks if it bothers her that people think she's too liberal for the name decision, and she says, "I think that's another one of the dangers of being in public life: one cannot live one's life based on what somebody else's image of you might be. I suppose that there have been many wives of politicians who may have had serious problems personally, because they were worried about the image that they had and as to whether or not that would hurt their husband. All one can do is live the life that God gave you, and you know you just do the best you can, and if somebody likes you or doesn't like you, that's really in many ways something that you have no control over."

On her not fitting the image of a politician's wife

The interviewer says, "A thought occurs to me that you really don't fit the image that we have created in Arkansas for the governor's wife. You are not a native, you've been educated in liberal Eastern universities, you're less than 40, you don't have any children, you don't use your husband's name, you practice law." He asks if it concerns her that people feel this way.

She answers, "No, because just as I said before, I think each person should be assessed and judged based on that person's own merit."

The video surfaced last year after it was uncovered by Buzzfeed [1]. Although it's from more than 30 years ago, Clinton continues to face sexist comments [2] throughout her presidential campaign that no other man has been subjected to.
