Synopsis

On November 4, 2008, voters across America will go to the polls to send a new leader to the White House. They could well face an historic decision - to elect the first woman president. Are Americans ready to make history? American women have been astronauts, members of Congress, CEOs, and are dying in record numbers on the battlefields of Iraq. But does America really like ambitious women?We know about her brilliance as a young student. We know about her marriage to Bill Clinton, and his multiple infidelities. And yet there is so much we don't know about Hillary Clinton. She has been half of America's most famous power couple for 15 years. Now an influential Senator with friends on both sides of Congress, her role as a supporting player in that partnership has been decisively cast aside.Why is she seen as such a divisive figure? Did Hillary Clinton make a calculated sacrifice on the altar of power, giving up her ideals and the very essence of her personality, to help her climb to the top? Or is the story of Hillary Clinton really about a woman who overcame humiliation and defeat to chart a course of triumph?Written by one of the most insightful women journalists working today, this book is a concise, essential investigation into one of the most powerful personalities on the American landscape.
