Hillary Clinton in Her Own Words

Book excerpt: With more than 300 quotations from the former First Lady of the United States, Senator of New York, and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton in Her Own Words goes way beyond politics as usual to reveal Clinton's intimate perceptions and public stands on issues that interest everyone -- from health care to hairstyles, from social security to social media. Whether they are remarks from speeches delivered at international summits or bon mots exchanged in friendly sparring matches with the press, Clinton's wit and intelligence are always apparent -- as are her passion, eloquence, humility grace and tenacity. This definitive collection will appeal not only to politically minded readers but also to those interested in her philosophies as she plots the course of her own future as the first woman to hold the office of US president.
