Hillary Rodham Clinton is a formidable, exciting, enigmatic woman, and this provocative, probing biography - in the works for over 2 yrs - offers real perception into her character, her beliefs, and her career. Joyce Milton offers a meticulously thorough chronicle of Mrs. Clinton's life: her midwestern years as a child; her first Washington stint as a legal staffer in the Watergate investigation; her ambiguous dual role in Arkansas as a general public interest lawyer and a politician's better half; and her tumultuous White House years as the utmost controversial First Woman in America's history - and today the most visibly wronged girl on the planet. Milton offers new perspectives on the firestorms which may have raged about the First lady, from the healthcare fiasco to Whitewater and Vince Foster's suicide, to her husband's chronic infidelity and the scandals which may have threatened the Clinton legacy and, ironically, have cast Hillary Clinton in a new, more sympathetic role. Milton also examines her attempts to reconcile a bunch of contradictions - feminist convictions in agonizing collision with family commitment; philosophical beliefs incompatible with harsh political fact; the precarious balance between professional ambition, general public image, and private life. Lively and even-handed, this biography is sure to be required reading - and listening.
