Chelsea Clinton: The Photo That Influenced Me Most
Time ^ | 11/17/2016 | Chelsea Clinton

Posted on 11/20/2016 5:06:15 PM PST by simpson96

(To celebrate the launch of TIME’s new multimedia project – 100 Photographs: The Most Influential Images of All Time – we asked leaders in a number of fields, from technology to the arts to business, to share the single photograph that most influenced their lives. Purchase the 100 Photographs book now.)

'The Solvay Conference in 1927 brought together the world’s most prominent scientists and physicists, including Albert Einstein, who you can see front and center here. Seventeen of them were or would become Nobel Prize winners. At first glance this may not be the most moving photo, but to me it subtly communicates two very powerful messages. First, that the pursuit of human progress and advances in science are incredible forces to bring people together. And perhaps even more impactful to me is the presence of the one woman in attendance, Marie Curie. As a woman pioneer in a field clearly so dominated at the time by men, Curie remains the only person in history to ever win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences – but perhaps not for long! She paved the way for so many girls who are interested in becoming engineers, scientists and mathematicians, and a similar photo today may look a lot less like Solvay and a lot more like the world around us.'

(Chelsea Clinton is Vice Chair of the Clinton Foundation.)

I see a distinct parallel between her and Caroline Kennedy.

Except that the one woman in the photo is so hard-looking she could pass for a man.

Fathers were gifted politicians. Daughters dumb as rocks and ugly. Although, Caroline was better looking.

I wish I could find it now, but a long time ago I saw a picture of Chelsea standing next to Bill and you could really see the resemblance. I don’t think she’s Webb’s.

Apparently she didn’t have enough money left over to hire a decorator.

Not much ‘diversity’ in that photo, Chelsea. Just a bunch of old white guys.

Word is Chelsea was planning on a career in medicine only to be dissuaded by Bill and Hillary because it wasn’t going to give her enough public profile for future political office.

Which is a shame, because she’d have had a happier and more productive life as a GP in a suburban clinic than picking up her parents’ wreckage in a Manhattan penthouse.

” Here’s the Chelsea photo that influenced me most.

” I met Chelsea one day on Fifth Avenue during the Macy’s Day Thanksgiving Parade - and she was wearing ropes!
