Hillary took those words and ran. In a life on the front row of  modern American history, she has always stood out--whether she was a  teen campaigning for the 1964 Republican presidential candidate, winning  recognition in \u003ci\u003eLife \u003c\/i\u003emagazine for her pointed words as the first student commencement speaker at Wellesley College, or working on the Richard Nixon impeachment case as a newly minted lawyer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor all her accomplishments, scrutiny and  scandal have followed this complex woman since she stepped into the public eye—from her role as First Lady of Arkansas to  First Lady of the United States to becoming the first female U.S. senator from  New York to U.S. secretary of state. Despite intense criticism, Hillary  has remained committed to public service and dedicated to health-care  reform, children's issues, and women’s rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHillary Rodham Clinton: A Woman Living History\u003c\/i\u003e, critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal gives us an intimate and unflinching look at the public and personal life of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
