“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.” —Bob Schieffer, CBS News. Hillary Diane Rodham grew up with the belief that she could achieve anything through hard work.

Despite the challenges, Hillary remains dedicated to public service, focusing on health-care reform, children's issues, and women’s rights, all while aspiring to be her nation’s first female president. This biography offers an intimate look at her life, illustrated with photographs and political cartoons, capturing the complexities of a woman who continues to push boundaries. Blumenthal provides a compelling portrait, emphasizing the nuances of Hillary’s personality and history that have shaped her political journey.
