Here are some direct quotes:

Bill Clinton had lost the Congressional race in 1974, but in November 1976 was elected Attorney General of Arkansas. This required the couple to move to the state capital of Little Rock.<61> Rodham joined the venerable Rose Law Firm, a bastion of Arkansan political and economic influence,<62> in February 1977,<63>

Following the November 1978 election of her husband as Governor of Arkansas, Rodham became First Lady of Arkansas in January 1979, her title for a total of twelve years (1979–1981, 1983–1992). Clinton appointed her chair of the Rural Health Advisory Committee the same year,<72> where she successfully obtained federal funds to expand medical facilities in Arkansas' poorest areas without affecting doctors' fees.<73>

In 1979,<74> she became the first woman to be made a full partner of Rose Law Firm.<75>

Clinton continued to practice law with the Rose Law Firm while she was First Lady of Arkansas. She earned less than all the other partners, due to fewer hours being billed,<85> but still made over $200,000 in her final year there.<74> She continued to rarely do trial work,<74> but was considered a "rainmaker" at the firm for bringing in clients, partly due to the prestige she lent the firm and to her corporate board connections.<74> She was also very influential in the appointment of state judges.<74>
