Chelsea Clinton, who is expecting her second child after giving birth to baby Charlotte in 2014, has a new book to read to her little ones at bedtime.
A children's book about their grandmother Hillary Clinton chronicles her ascent from a young girl in Illinois to a politician in Washington D.C.
Titled Hillary Rodham Clinton: Some Girls Are Born to Lead, the book starts: 'In the 1950s, it was a man's world.
'Only boys could grow up to have powerful jobs. Only boys had no ceilings on their dreams.
'Girls weren't supposed to act smart, tough or ambitious. Even though, deep inside, they may have felt that way.
'But in the town of Park Ridge, Illinois, along came Hillary.'
The opening spread of the book shows Hillary standing out as a young girl with her hands on her hips amidst a sea of different men who are illustrated in muted tones.
Published by Balzer and Bray for readers between the ages of four and eight, the book presents Clinton as the ultimate girl-power role model.
From 'acing tests' and 'upstaging boys in class' Clinton is also shown at her wedding, presenting key speeches and working on the campaign trail.
It doesn't shy away from the details, stating people 'criticized her - in ways they'd never criticize a man' - as she stood by her husband's 1992 presidential campaign.

I’d love to see her as an arch-villain in an Austin Powers movie. Bill could play a mini-me style role.
12 year-old Hillary was dreaming of her Prince Charming.
----but she got suckered by a guy in uniform.
this picture book biography depicts Hillary Rodham Clinton’s story as one of endless heroic struggles
You are aware that barf alerts exist for a reason, are you not...?
I figured the title was barfy enough.

She looks like Nurse Ratchet in that photo.
Some girls are never born to get the chance. They are aborted.
She was a high school Young Republican and a "Goldwater Girl".
In 1968 she supported anti-war Dem candidate, Eugene McCarthy...and in 1972 she supported the arch liberal, George McGovern.
She was further radicalized at Yale...then she met and married Bill Clinton, and she was on her way to the top (she hoped).
She will be worse that Obama if she is successful in her blind obsession.

Hillary Clinton's father, Hugh Rodham, paid for his family's home on Wisner Street in Park Ridge, Ill., outright with money he'd saved as the owner of a drapery business.
