Hillary Rodham Clinton’s deeply personal and historically significant memoir about her eight years as First Lady is currently available from Encore for a great value!
Hillary Rodham Clinton is known to hundreds of millions of people round the world. 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. Living History is her revealing memoir of life through the White House years. Additionally it is her chronicle of living history with Bill Clinton, a thirty-year adventure in love and politics that survives personal betrayal, relentless partisan investigations, and continuous public scrutiny.
Hillary Rodham Clinton came old during a time of tumultuous social and political change in America. Like a lot of women of her generation, she grew up with choices and opportunities unknown to her mother or grandmother. She charted her own course through unexplored terrain—giving an answer to the changing times and her own internal compass—and became an emblem for some and a lightning rod for others. Wife, mother, lawyer, advocate, and international icon, she has lived through America’s great political wars, from Watergate to Whitewater.
The only First Lady to learn a major role in shaping domestic legislation, Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled tirelessly around the country to champion health care, expand monetary and educational opportunity, and promote the needs of children and families, as she crisscrossed the globe on behalf of women’s rights, human rights, and democracy.
Intimate, powerful, and inspiring, Living History captures the essence of one of the very most remarkable women of our time and the challenging process where she came to define herself and find her own voice—as a woman and since a formidable figure in American politics.
