I noticed that he kept looking over at me. I was studying in the library, and Bill was standing out in the hall talking to another student, Jeff Gleckel, who was trying to persuade Bill to write for the Yale Law Journal. We would run into each other around campus, but we never actually met until one night at the Yale law library the following spring. 'He's from Arkansas, and that's all he ever talks about.' As I walked by, I heard him say: '.and not only that, we grow the biggest watermelons in the world!' I asked a friend, 'Who is that?' When I first saw him in the law school's student lounge, he was holding forth before a rapt audience of fellow students. He also had a vitality that seemed to shoot out of his pores. He was tall and handsome somewhere beneath that reddish brown beard and curly mane of hair. He arrived at Yale Law School looking more like a Viking than a Rhodes Scholar returning from two years at Oxford. 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.Bill Clinton was hard to miss in the autumn of 1970. 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. Now, she aspires to a bigger role: her nation's first woman president.

Despite intense criticism, Hillary has remained committed to public service and dedicated to health-care reform, children's issues, and women's rights. 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. 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. Bob Schieffer, CBS News 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.

For young people who are just beginning to be interested in politics, or any of us who want a better understanding of Hillary Clinton, this book is an excellent place to start.
