“A thoughtful and provocative read, this memoir provides a rare and intimate glimpse into the mind and heart of a true political icon.”
I hope she runs again, and I hope she wins." I already liked Hillary in the 2008 campaign and actually preferred her to Obama, but as I got to know her through this book, my opinion of her just continued to climb. "I never knew much about Bill Clinton's presidency since I was seven years old when he was elected, so I loved the chance to learn all about it. Intimate, powerful and inspiring, Living History captures the essence of one of the most remarkable women of our time and the challenging process by which she came to define herself and find her own voice - as a woman and as a formidable figure in American politics. She redefined the position of First Lady and helped save the presidency from an unconstitutional, politically motivated impeachment. The only First Lady to play a major role in shaping domestic legislation, Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled tirelessly around the country to champion health care, expand economic and educational opportunity and promote the needs of children and families, and she crisscrossed the globe on behalf of women's rights, human rights and democracy. Wife, mother, lawyer, advocate and international icon, she has lived through America's great political wars, from Watergate to Whitewater. She charted her own course through unexplored terrain - responding to the changing times and her own internal compass - and became an emblem for some and a lightning rod for others. Like many women of her generation, she grew up with choices and opportunities unknown to her mother or grandmother.
Hillary Rodham Clinton came of age during a time of tumultuous social and political change in America. It is also her chronicle of living history with Bill Clinton, a thirty-year adventure in love and politics that survives personal betrayal, relentless partisan investigations and constant public scrutiny. Living History is her revealing memoir of life through the White House years. She writes with candor, humor and passion about her upbringing in suburban, middle-class America in the 1950s and her transformation from Goldwater Girl to student activist to controversial First Lady. Yet few beyond her close friends and family have ever heard her account of her extraordinary journey. Hillary Rodham Clinton is known to hundreds of millions of people around the world.
