Series Title: Greenwood Biographies
Description: A successful lawyer, child welfare advocate, health care activist, and the first First Lady elected to the U.S. Senate, Hillary Rodham Clinton has become one of the most iconic women in America today. This accessible biography explores her childhood and undergraduate political activism, and her work toward positive legislation for families, the elderly, and international women's issues--as a governor's wife, and later as a first lady. The final portions of the book are devoted to her two terms as a New York senator and her decision to run for president in 2008. One of the most current Hillary Clinton biographies at the high school level, this volume offers an insightful look into the life of a modern American icon and the role of women in politics today. This volume explores:
  • Her family background and strict upbringing
  • The political activism of her college years
  • Her marriage to Bill Clinton and her promotion of education policy as a governor's wife
  • Her advocation of health care reform as First Lady, amidst media battles and scandal accusations
  • Her senate terms and potential presidential nomination.

    Rounded out through photos, a timeline, a bibliography, and an index, this volume will appeal to general readers as well as students of women's issues, current events, and political science.
