Not sure if I am justified in putting this book up here, because I had to put it down after just reading half...see Hillary do everything she's supposed to, without questioning...see Hillary never fail to blame someone else when she loses...this is such a load of tripe that I went into a kind of anti-baby boomer funk that I'm just coming out of. <br/> Would have been nice to have read something that was a tribute to womanhood, to overcoming sexism, to feminism, to something other than Hillary the Eagle Scout (wait, they wouldn't let her in, they only allow boys, Hillary could have done so much MORE with her life if it hadn't been for the boy scout conspiracy). <br/> <br/>Step up to the plate, Hillary. Be a person, any person. Don't be a poster child, and stop whining. Like most of the other women who've tried their best and failed occasionally and still managed to be extremely successful, who have actually tried to become a person and succeeded. I suppose I expected a lot more than this, because otherwise what would merit the response I've just given? <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/734561?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
