5/5 Stars: “Hillary Doesn’t Fit Neatly Into a Package… and that’s a GOOD thing! I’m a Democrat, but I haven’t settled myself on Hillary as a candidate…yet. This book is essential reading, especially if she *does* get the nomination. The writers have a broad spectrum of views about Clinton’s personality, political track-record, and a few of them recount specific interactions that some of them have had with her. Some of the essays are clearly ‘rah-rah-Hillary’, but others are respectfully critical, which is refreshing. I wish every single presidential candidate had a book like this about them. It has given me a more holistic view of Hillary as a person and as a politician – and I feel better informed about what to expect from her if she does win the nomination.”
5/5 Stars: “Surprisingly thought provoking! Extremely timely, this is an interesting collection of 28 essays written by women from different walks of life. It offers insight into how people feel about Hillary Clinton. Love her, hate her, or somewhere in between, this book will help you examine your own thoughts about the woman who may become the next President of the United States. … It’s not often that a book can challenge your thoughts, but this one will. If everyone could read this and examine our own shortcomings/perceptions/opinions, the world would be a much better place.”
