An inspiring and meticulously researched middle grade biography of
Hillary Rodham Clinton--First Lady, senator, secretary of state, and the
first female presidential nominee in United States history.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is a true leader. Growing up in Park Ridge,
Illinois, Hillary was inspired by the philosophy of John Wesley, who
urged his followers to "do all the good you can." Rising to prominence
in 1992 as the First Lady of the United States, Hillary captured the
world's attention with her bold ideas and political forcefulness.
From her time at Wellesley to her life at the White House and beyond,
Hillary has been at the forefront of huge change--and despite setbacks
and political scandals, she has worked for good in the world.
Acclaimed author Cynthia Levinson creates a compelling and personal
portrait of Hillary's historic journey from her childhood to her service
as secretary of state and beyond. Includes a timeline of Hillary Rodham
Clinton's life and an eight-page photo insert.
"This extensively researched and comprehensive biography tells us more
of the woman who is that public figure, from some of her inspirations
(like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Birmingham protests) and the
impact of her religious faith on her commitment to service"
