Hillary Rodham Clinton is an informative introduction to the life of this remarkable woman. The former first lady and Yale Law graduate was destined for political life. She brought her intelligence and drive to numerous projects during her husband's presidency in the 1990s. In 2000, she campaigned for the U.S. Senate as a representative from New York. Her win made her the first first woman to be elected to the Senate following her husband's presidency. For the 2008 presidential campaign, Clinton became a contender for the Democratic nomination for president, and is widely considered to be the first woman to have conducted a viable campaign to be president of the United States. Though she lost that nomination to Barak Obama, this former first lady and U.S. Senator continues to promote the interests of her nation as U.S. Secretary of State. The book is published by Chelsea House Publishers, a leading publisher of educational material.

"I really enjoyed this book. Love her or hate her, Hillary Clinton is definitely one of the most interesting women of our time. This book filled in a lot of the gaps about what happened from the former First Lady's point of view during the Clinton years. It also gave an interesting account of her younger years (the type of background that really forms the basis for the woman we see today.) Some of it was obviously white-washed and somewhat self-serving, but overall it seemed like a heart-felt autobiography." — Jamee (4 out of 5 stars)

" Vivid memoir of a charismatic woman who will be the first female president of the United States. She has an human approach rarely found in the others politicians. "
" An important re-read for me at this point in time! "
" I just couldn't get into it. Is that terrible? "
" Good Lord...what an awful autobiography, full of soppy rubbish and pathetic musings. I do like Clinton but I am afraid I have no interest in this probably ghost written crap. "
" I love Hillary, and wish she was our President, but she needs a better ghostwriter. Maybe she can hire Barack Obama's guy. "
" I have so much respect for Hillary. This book only helped to solidify that. "
" It helped me understand her better. "
" Hilary is awesome. It's too bad she won't be president but it was nice reading a light autobiography for once. (But really, I just want Bill back in the White House) "
" It was a long read, but good. I believe her actual personality comes out in this book. She speaks with intelligence & detail. I also appreciate how honest & candid she is when discussing people & events. "
" I learned that Hillary Clinton is worthy of my complete adoration. "
" This book is simply fascinating! "
" I read it summer '07 and attribute my support for Hillary partly to what I gleaned from her autobiography. Had the general public sat down to hear HER side of the story, I think the outcome would have been different... "
" I suppose my rating on this book reveals who will have my vote come 19 February...I'm okay with that :) "
" Good read for aspiring first lady. Hillary struggled to redefined the National Health service during the Bill Clinton era is vividly written. "
" This lady is an interesting person, especially when she tells of her early years. I wouldn't vote for her at this time, but then I did vote for Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon, so who knows? It would depend on the other choices. "
" good biography. it answered some of my questions i had about things happened in hilary's private life "
" Honestly? I like Hillary Clinton but this just read like an expanded resume. It was interesting but the whole time I felt like she was trying to convince me it is OK that she's a senator, which I didn't need convincing about. (I read this right after she became a senator.) "
" Pretty easy read for being an autobiography. It was interesting to learn about Hillary Clinton's life and how she got to where she is today. I am guessing your opinion about this book will depend upon how you feel about Hillary Clinton. "
" Terrific personal, humorous and accessable story about Hillary Clinton's fascinating life. "
" Hard to read and yet unputdownable. I know that's contradictory but she is such a complex woman with an amazing story to tell - it's just it's a shame that the writing is not more compelling. "
" A story of a politician who was a first wife before she started contesting elections in a democracy. Dont know how honest she is in telling her stories, but she certainly takes sides. "
