Washington: Thousands of pages of Hillary Clinton's schedules as first lady were released to the public on Wednesday after months of criticism that the Clintons were delaying the disclosure.
The National Archives and the Clinton presidential library jointly released more than 11,000 pages of Clinton's daily schedule as first lady from 1993 to 2001 and also posted the details online.
The release came in response to charges that she is overly secretive, and also allowed her campaign to promote her argument that she gained valuable White House experience during her years as first lady.
Clinton faced criticism from fellow Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and Republicans over the number of White House documents from her husband's administration that have not been made public.
The documents include schedules for 2,888 days from 1993 to 2001.
Clinton and Obama are battling to win Pennsylvania on April 22, the next contest in a closely fought campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination to face Republican John McCain in the November election.
The documents clearly indicated that Clinton had a powerful role at the White House, frequently meeting foreign leaders and presiding over meetings.
The daily schedules are the focus of a lawsuit by Judicial Watch, a conservative public interest group.
