Hillary Rodham Clinton: A Woman Living History Read Free Books and Download eBooks
As a young girl, Hillary Diane Rodham’s parents told her she could be whatever she wanted--as long as she was willing to work for it. Hillary took those words and ran. In a life on the front row of modern American history, she has always stood out--whether she was a teen campaigning for the 1964 Republican presidential candidate, winning recognition in Life magazine for her pointed words as the first student commencement speaker at Wellesley College, or working on the Richard Nixon impeachment case as a newly minted lawyer.For all her accomplishments, scrutiny and scandal have followed this complex woman since she stepped into the public eye―from her role as First Lady of Arkansas to First Lady of the United States to becoming the first female U.S. senator from New York to U.S. secretary of state. Despite intense criticism, Hillary has remained committed to public service and dedicated to health-care reform, children's issues, and women’s rights. Now, she aspires to a bigger role: her nation's first woman president.In Hillary Rodham Clinton: A Woman Living History, critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal gives us an intimate and unflinching look at the public and personal life of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs and political cartoons, this is a must-have biography about a woman who has fascinated--and divided--the public, who continues to push boundaries, and who isn’t afraid to reach for one more goal."After decades in the public eye, Hillary Rodham Clinton is still an enigma, as Blumenthal (Tommy: The Gun That Changed America) emphasizes in this compelling portrait of the former U.S. Senator and Secretary of State’s journey from budding activist to presidential aspirant." ―Publishers Weekly, starred review

A well balanced biography about Hillary Rodham Clinton. I learned an enormous amountall stages of her personal and professional life. She is a strong, compassionate andintelligent woman. She has committed herself to fighting for children and familiesin this country and in the world. Her experience in government speaks well forher presidential goal. I can honestly say this book awakened me to the depthin her character and her strength. Highly recommended.
Even-handed, highly readable, and interesting--perfect for YA but also a great book for adults who want the story without the "angle" that comes with virtually everything else written about her.Can't recommend this one highly enough. I got it today and read it in one sitting, and will order more for gifts.AAAAAA++++++
The author has gathered information from third party sources and used them to produce a well written, unbiased profile of Hillary Clinton. Ms. Blumenthal examines many factors that shaped Clinton into who she is today. It's illuminating!
A must read before you vote in 2016. So many people believe everything the media feeds us. This book is informative with no muddy water.
A must read for any one following the presidential election.
I appreciate that there was no apparent agenda on the subject of Hillary Clinton. It was hard to find a book that didn't have a negative slant. It was very informative and seemed honest.
Excellent! It's a good inside look at where Hillary is coming from. I rated it five stars because it was riveting from beginning to end.
Wonderful biography, written well. Gave me a better appreciation for a dedicated woman.
