Hillary Rodham Clinton became First Lady of Arkansas after her husband Bill won the governor's race in November 1978; she and her husband took office in January 1979. At that time, Hillary kept her name, and used Hillary Rodham, as she continued her work as a lawyer. The decision to keep her name and maintain her career was very controversial with conservative Arkansas voters. When her husband was defeated for reelection, she reconsidered her stance; and when he ran again, she accepted the name of Hillary Clinton (or even Mrs. Bill Clinton). She was Arkansas First Lady for twelve years: the first time, from 1979–81, and then again from 1983–92.
