The Phenomenal #1 Worldwide Bestseller
WITH A NEW AFTERWORD
Hillary Rodham Clinton is known to hundreds of millions of people around
the world. Yet few beyond her close friends and family have ever heard
her account of her extraordinary journey. 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. 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.
Hillary Rodham Clinton
came of age during a time of tumultuous social and political change in
America. Like many 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 -- responding 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 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. She redefined the position of First
Lady and helped save the presidency from an unconstitutional,
politically motivated impeachment. 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
