希拉裏:美國總統剋林頓夫人,最有可能成為美國第一位女總統的候選人,本書被認為是她為競選下一屆美國總統的自我宣傳之作,從希拉裏的中學時代寫起,以白宮八年生活為中心,廣泛涉及剋林頓執政期間美國的對內對外政策、諸多重大國際國內政治事件的背景、她與剋林頓之間的情感糾葛等等。作為美國第一夫人,同時又是一個追求獨立、有責任心的優秀女性,無論褒貶者都不得不摺服於她的公眾影響力。

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 controversial 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.

現在再談剋林頓可能有點過時瞭,但那些喜歡詳細瞭解曆史的朋友們可以看看這本書,也許你要找的答案就在這本書中的某個地方……
評分喜歡Hillary的咄咄逼人,一種囂張加沉穩的氣質。 Hillary的強勢在於男人也怕她,這是很多女政治傢所具備的一點:比男人更男人你纔能贏!
評分隨便說說印象比較深刻的幾點: 1) 六零年代真的是全世界都在躁動,每一個國傢機器都天然地是一些人的公敵,這在很長的一段時間內大概都很難改變。但米國確實有一個比較成熟的遊戲規則,最重要的是大傢基本上願意認真地按照規則來玩,哪怕你殺人呢,也講究個午時三刻,鞦後問斬...
評分“奧巴馬與希拉裏無論誰當選為總統,都將創造曆史”。這句話對於民主黨內持久未決的選舉而言,算是一個沒有結果的結果吧。 相比較於重資質而言,民主黨更喜歡新鮮麵孔。所以16年前,民國民眾好剋林頓希拉裏這一口。今年似乎是希拉裏入住白宮的唯一機會瞭。她的年齡經不起再等...
評分在Wellesley的大學時期看起來還是比較輕鬆快樂的,在CLASS OF '69這章結束的時候,希拉裏說,她的暑期工作是在一傢魚工廠穿著雨靴站在齊膝的血水裏清理內髒,然後她說:"During a visit to Alaska when I was First Lady, I joked to an audience that of all the jobs I've had...
