She met Hugh Rodham in 1937 when she applied for a secretarial job at a lace-making company. The sources aren't clear if he worked there, only calling him a "traveling salesman", so he must either have worked for that same company, or been trying to sell them something. At any rate it wasn't until four or five years later that he and Dorothy married. They were subsequently to have three children. |

When her husband died, an article in the ''News Record'' of North Hills, Pennsylvania which was mainly about Hillary, reprinted this quote from Dorothy:<blockquote> "There must have been 40 or 50 children within a four-block radius of our house and within four years of Hillary's age," the first lady's mother, Dorothy Rodham, told The Washington Post in January. "They were all together, all the time, a big extended family. There were more boys than girls, lot of playing and competition."</blockquote> | When her husband died, an article in the ''News Record'' of North Hills, Pennsylvania which was mainly about Hillary, reprinted this quote from Dorothy:<blockquote> "There must have been 40 or 50 children within a four-block radius of our house and within four years of Hillary's age," the first lady's mother, Dorothy Rodham, told The Washington Post in January.
