Description: She is one of the most influential and recognizable figures in our country, and perhaps the single most divisive individual in our political landscape. Now, as she make her historic run for the presidency, two Pulitzer-winning New York Times reporters bring us a comprehensive and balanced portrait of the most important woman in American politics. Drawing upon myriad new sources and previously undisclosed documents, they show how, like many women of her generation, Hillary Rodham Clinton tempered a youthful idealism with the realities of corporate America and big-league politics. It takes readers from the dorm rooms at Wellesley to the courthouses of Arkansas and Washington; to the White House and role as First Lady; inside the back rooms of the Senate; and to her campaign war room. Alternately helped and hindered by her marriage to Bill Clinton, their political partnership is unraveled as well.--From publisher description.
