From the definitive, humanizing biography of one of the most powerful and widely misunderstood women of our time: Hillary Rodham Clinton. Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Carl Bernstein sheds light on Hillary's political development during her four years as an impressionable but fierce undergraduate at Wellesley.
In thick, Coke-bottle glasses, here is an ambitious young student-galvanized by the assassination of Martin Luther King and the women's liberation movement-fighting to be recognized by the East coast elite. Bernstein reveals a side of Hillary not often seen in a tender, heartening, and measured depiction of her even-keeled transformation from a Barry Goldwater conservative raised in a staunchly anti-communist household in Illinois into an "agnostic intellectual liberal" and an impassioned progressive dedicated to peaceful and pragmatic reform.
