\n<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Clinton was reared in Chicago, and later attended Wellesley College. She was Wellesley\u2019s first student commencement speaker, earning a standing ovation after challenging the statements of a senator who preceded her at the speaker\u2019s platform during the ceremony. She went on to attend Yale Law School, embark on a legal career, wed a future president, and serve as First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of the U.S., Senator (Rep. NY), and U.S. Secretary of State. This biography explores Clinton\u2019s private life as well, emphasizing her roles as wife and mother in a fascinating and challenging marriage. \u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I liked Blumenthal\u2019s use of numerous quotes from Clinton herself and from a wide range of friends, family members, opponents, and supporters. My favorite features of this book were the glimpses into Clinton\u2019s personality, the presentation of the less noticeable facets of her nature. Blumenthal writes of Clinton\u2019s staff, as \u201cThey knew a different Hillary\u2014a woman who always asked about their families and encouraged them to be home with their babies and sick children.\u201d \u00a0Blumenthal also conveys the private frustrations faced by Clinton, writing, \u201cRemind me\u2019, she said to a staff member at one point, \u2018have I ever done anything right in my life?\u2019\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The book presents Clinton not only as an aggressive, if guarded, politician, but also as a fun friend and a devoted wife and mother. The reader learns about games Clinton and her husband played with their daughter, her mother-in-law\u2019s early dismay over her lack of glamour, and, of course, her relationship with the brilliant and complicated Bill Clinton. Overall, I enjoyed this book, recommend it to anyone interested in Hillary Clinton, and award it 3 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n
