Synopsis
In this memoir, Hillary Clinton writes of her experiences as First Lady during the Clinton administration, and her subsequent, successful candidacy for U.S. senator from New York. She also reviews her Chicago upbringing, her early efforts to distinguish herself, her feelings about the failure of the Clinton health care initiative, the "vast right-wing conspiracy," and why she wanted to "wring Bill's neck."

Industry Reviews
"LIVING HISTORY reads as though it were written by a committee with occasional guest appearances...by the person claiming authorship; to her credit Clinton acknowledges the members of that committee, going so far as to say of one that she is 'responsible for many of the words in my speeches as First Lady and in this book.'"
Washington Post Book World - Jonathan Yardley (06/15/2003)
"What this book has that most campaign memoirs do not have is a satisfying, if partly submerged, plot line. It's a kind of feminist bildungsroman...."
New York Observer - Margaret Talbot (06/23/2003)
"LIVING HISTORY is neither living nor history. But like Hillary Rodham Clinton, the book is relentless, a phenomenon that's impossible to ignore and impossible to explain."
New York Times Book Review - Maureen Dowd (06/29/2003)
"[Clinton] is particularly affecting when she describes her protective feelings toward her daughter, Chelsea....On policy issues as well, she is often revealing."
New Yorker (07/14/2003)
"Much of the earthquake response to the career of Hillary Rodham Clinton is simply one sign of a wider seismic disturbance rumbling through the whole of our society. That is why her book is a significant event--significant more for the polar responses to it than for any fresh thinking in it."
New York Review of Books - Garry Wills (08/14/2003)
