Living History
Living History is Hillary Rodham Clinton's memoir of her eight years as First Lady during Bill Clinton's presidency. She writes about her upbringing and early career, her marriage, and her efforts to lead an ambitious health care reform that failed in Congress. The book covers the major events of the era, including foreign travel, advocacy for women's and children's issues, and the scandals and impeachment that shadowed the second term. Clinton describes the personal strain of the Lewinsky affair and the decision to stay in her marriage, as well as her path toward running for the United States Senate. Published in 2003, the book was a major commercial success and offers her account of a turbulent and closely watched period in American politics.
