Synopsis

Who Is Hillary Clinton? Readers of our New York Times best-selling series can find out now!

At age fourteen, Hillary Clinton thought it would be thrilling to become an astronaut, so she sent an application to NASA. The reply was a flat out rejection: the space program didn't take women. It was a critical moment for the young girl, one that made her realize the world she lived in needed changing and that she had better try to make those changes happen. Clinton's life has been a thrilling series of firsts—First Lady of the US, then first First Lady to become a US Senator, Secretary of State, and the first woman to run as the Democratic candidate for President. This easy-to-read biography gives readers a firm grounding not only in Clinton's life history but the history of the times in which she's lived. It comes out as she makes her historic run for the White House.

Goodreads review by Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl

Interesting & easy to read. Written in a way that is very favorable toward Hillary Clinton. There is so much information in this little book that readers young and old will likely pick up some tidbits. What stood out to me the most was the birthdays. I've always been drawn to numbers. I didn't reali......more

Goodreads review by Memory

This was well-written, easy to read, and (clearly) timely. It was definitely written with a Democratic slant (when political parties are described Democrats are people who want government to help people with food, clothes, health, and education, while Republicans at some unspecified time in the past......more
