Maybe I'm feeling guilty for not supporting an accomplished woman's presidential candidacy. Maybe I'm becoming increasingly aware that the media hasn't treated Hillary Clinton fairly compared to Barack Obama. Whatever the reason, I've been taking a second look at Hillary Clinton and decided to finally read her autobiography--the one in which I stood in line for 3 hours for her book signing. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the book, how readable it was, and how personable Senator Clinton is. And I think she's taken a lot of crap, as First Lady and Senator, that others in her position haven't been subjected to. I've always been mystified as to why she is such a polarizing figure, and this book helps clarify that. I finished the book with a renewed respect for the Senator and all that she has accomplished as an individual, and for women.
