Synopsis:

A collection of original writings by women about Hillary Rodham Clinton as she heads into the 2008 Presidential campaign. The election is almost two years away, but Hillary has been in the public eye for twenty years, and there is no other politician who inspires such a wide range of passionate feelings, particularly among women. To some women she's a sellout who changed her name and her hairstyle when it suited her husband's career; to others she's a hardworking idealist with the political savvy to work effectively within the system. Where one person sees a carpetbagger, another sees a dedicated politician; where one sees a humiliated and long-suffering wife, another sees a dignified First Lady. Is she tainted by the scandals of her husband's presidency, or has she gained experience and authority from weathering his missteps? Cold or competent, overachiever or pioneer, too radical or too moderate, Hillary Clinton continues to overturn the assumptions we make about her. It is hard to imagine a political figure of more compelling interest right now.
