Summary
Hillary Rodham Clinton is known to hundreds of millions of people around the world. Yet few beyond her close friends and family have ever heard her account of her extraordinary journey. She writes with candor, humor and passion about her upbringing in suburban, middle-class America in the 1950s and her transformation from Goldwater Girl to student activist to First Lady.
Living History is her revealing memoir of life through the White House years. It is also her chronicle of living history with Bill Clinton, a thirty-year adventure in love and politics that survives personal betrayal, relentless partisan investigations and constant public scrutiny.
Hillary Rodham Clinton came of age during a time of tumultuous social and political change in America. Like many women of her generation, she grew up with choices and opportunities unknown to her mother or grandmother. She charted her own course through unexplored terrain—responding to the changing times and her own internal compass—and became an emblem for some and a lightning rod for others. Wife, mother, lawyer, advocate and international icon, she has lived through America’s great political wars, from Watergate to Whitewater.
The only First Lady to play a major role in shaping domestic legislation, Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled tirelessly around the country to champion health care, expand economic and educational opportunity, and promote the needs of children and families, and she crisscrossed the globe on behalf of women’s rights, human rights, and democracy. She redefined the position of First Lady and helped save the presidency from an unconstitutional, politically motivated impeachment. Intimate, powerful, and inspiring, Living History captures the essence of one of the most remarkable women of our time and the challenging process by which she came to define herself and find her own voice—as a woman and as a formidable figure in American politics.©2003 Hillary Rodham Clinton; (P)2003 Simon & Schuster.

Outstanding.

However, as she only briefly touched on her backstories, her feelings and emotions for the most part of the book, except the section about Bill's affair and impeachment, I felt alienated from the Hillary in this book as a human being but instead a distanced character if not fictional. Her machine-like iron will, as depicted in the book, seemed surreal without the emotional touch as its engine.
Overall, I enjoyed the historical stories and details and the ferocious political war from the perspective of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Still, I expected more from an autobiography of a political person.
Great history lessons
