Framed in terms of the fight for equal opportunities for women, this picture book biography depicts Hillary Rodham Clinton's story as one of endless heroic struggles on behalf of the oppressed. Clinton is described as an excellent student who took an early leadership role among her peers, was inspired by hearing a speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and later fearlessly advocated on behalf of women, people of color, children, and the poor. Her challenges in balancing work and family life, as well as the criticism she's received as a woman, make her willingness to conquer each new hurdle even more impressive.
Employing deft and engaging prose, Markel covers much of the same ground Kathleen Krull did with Hillary Rodham Clinton: Dreams Taking Flight (S. & S., 2008) but provides far more specific details, though Krull's book offers a more impressionistic main text and extensive endnotes.
The tone is relentlessly positive, making it difficult to get a well-rounded sense of Clinton as a person, and there is no reference to any of the political controversies surrounding her or Bill Clinton. Pham's evocative illustrations steal the show, varying in mood from whimsical to uplifting to sobering.
Particularly effective is the contrast between the opening spread, which features well-known (and sepia-toned) men of the 1950s, and the concluding pages, which depict many vibrantly diverse and notable women of the 20th and 21st centuries.
VERDICT A beautifully produced, if excessively laudatory, biography of a significant contemporary political figure; recommended for general collections. - Laura Simeon, Open Window School Library, WA "
“Yes, Charlotte, and then Nanna had that bad Kathleen woman followed and killed her cat and showed her some bad things that could happen to her children....and that’s how Nanna stayed in her leadership position. Smart Nanna. For tomorrow’s story, Investing in Moo Cows - Nanna Style.”
Sure she was born to lead.
But how many girls want to led in to failure and criminal conspiracy?
Hillary Rodam Clinton, rape enabler in the name of women’s rights.
Some girls are born to lead, she wasn’t.
Do they detail the Evil Vast Right Wing Conspiracy that FORCED Bill to rape and molest by holding a gun to his head and throwing women at him?

Barfaroonies! So I guess girl power does consist of marrying the right guy after all? She’s ever accomplished a thing on her own, just enabled her ruthlessly, corrupt husband.
This is going to be a fun thread.
Thanks for posting, CW.
Hillary Rodham Clinton: Some Girls Are Born to be Mob Queen!
Fixed it.
I thought Grimm’s Fairy Tales were scary. This book could give sensible adults nightmares.
I’m reading a book called “Children of Monsters,” by Jay Nordlinger (a “National Review” contributor). It’s about the children and further descendants of dictators such as Joseph Stalin and Enver Hoxha. Almost without exception, they are loyal to their ancestor and to his memory, to the 4th generation at least.
It is reasonable to expect the same of Chelsea Clinton and her descendants: that they will never let up on defending the record and proclaiming the greatness of Bill and Hillary.
This is a near-exact comment I wrote in another thread a couple days ago but it is suitable for this thread.
Earlier this week, I flipped through TV channels and came across a show with four children (three females) at a table and a hostess named Meredith(?). Perhaps some here know of the person but I am an infrequent TV viewer. She then mentioned Hillary Clinton, showed an image, and asked if it was ok for a woman to be president. That was the only conversation. Then came an image of Donald Trump and the oldest-looking child (female) then had a look of disgust while “Meredith†had this equally constipated look and seemed to echo the sentiments of the crowd. I didn’t stick around long enough to see the rest because it seemed that this was an attempt at Brainwashing pre-school 101. The libs must be frightened if they are stooping to children.
Oh GOD YES!!! We'll do that TONIGHT after this silly ass meeting is over.
Do the early pictures of Hillary in the book show that she has brown eyes when she was a child and for years later into adulthood? Then at some point she started to fake her eye color using deep blue contact lenses.
There is no doubt she will save the country.
That’s the first time I’ve ever seen Hillary in a dress.
Yes Charlotte, there is a prison cell waiting for your Nanna...
Hillary Rotten Clinton looks slim on that cover.
