During her husband's two administrations, Hillary Rodham Clinton redefined the position of First Lady. Strong-willed, impassioned, fiercely loyal yet strikingly independent, Mrs. Clinton inspired an unprecedented level of scrutiny and conjecture from the media and from political foes. How this intensely private woman not only survived but prevailed is the dramatic story told in Living History.

As Mrs. Clinton looks back on her singular journey through the political and cultural arenas of American life, she shares the untold story of her White House years and recalls the challenging process by which she came to define herself as a wife, a mother, and a formidable politician in her own right. The first First Lady to play a direct role in shaping domestic policy, she was also an unofficial ambassador for human rights and democracy around the world. She helped save the Clinton presidency during the impeachment crisis. Living History recounts, with great candor, the events—both public and intimate—that shaped the course of her husband's presidency, sharing all the dreams, setbacks, personal heartaches, and triumphs.
