Final- Comparative study on Agrippina the Younger and Hilary ClintonAgrippina the Younger, daughter to the favoured Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder, and Hilary Rodham Clinton, former First Lady of the United States, shared similar backgrounds and exerted a similar degree of influence over the political decisions employed by the men in their lives. Both were also equally instrumental in breaking traditional ideals of women and emerged as powerful figures in their own right. Born in 15AD, Agrippina led an early life of turbulence and misfortune. It was during this time that she witnessed the deaths of many of her family members and was also subjected to malevolence from her brother Caligula when he became the emperor after Tiberius in 37BC.
