Description: "In The Hillary Trap, journalist and commentator Laura Ingraham turns her critical eye to the accepted wisdom about Hillary".

"While, to many, Hillary represents the archetypal strong woman at the forefront of her career, scratch the surface of that success and you'll find a victim - a woman who symbolizes not personal triumph, but compromise, concession, and her own Faustian bargain for power. If anything, Hillary's mix of opportunism, acquiescence, and dependency sets women back, rather than leading them forward.

This, in a nutshell, is the "Hillary Trap": the subtle and self-deceptive ways in which women sacrifice their own power and talents for superficial gains. More than anything else, it is what Hillary Rodham Clinton represents".

"Laura Ingraham turns conventional wisdom and traditional feminist thinking on their heads. The Hillary Trap walks readers step by step through the areas in which women have seemingly made strides but where they have in fact lost ground or risk abandoning the power they once had - in schools, relationships, the courtroom, the workplace, and in the home.

The Hillary Trap explains why a belief system predicated upon women as victims is so damaging - and what women can do to regain their power."--BOOK JACKET.
