Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty

What would it be like to sit down for an impassioned, entertaining conversation with Hillary Clinton? In Something Lost, Something Gained, Hillary offers her candid views on life and love, politics, liberty, democracy, the threats we face, and the future within our reach. She describes the strength she draws from her deepest friendships, her Methodist faith, and the nearly fifty years she's been married to President Bill Clinton—all with the wisdom that comes from looking back on a full life with fresh eyes. She takes us along as she returns to the classroom as a college professor, enjoys the bonds inside the exclusive club of former First Ladies, moves past her dream of being president, and dives into new activism for women and democracy. From canoeing with an ex-Nazi trying to deprogram white supremacists to sweltering with salt farmers in the desert trying to adapt to the climate crisis in India, Hillary brings us to the front lines of our biggest challenges. For the first time, Hillary shares the story of her operation to evacuate Afghan women to safety in the harrowing final days of America's longest war. But we also meet the brave women dissidents defying dictators around the world, gain new personal insights about her old adversary Vladimir Putin, and learn the best ways that worried parents can protect kids from toxic technology. We also hear her fervent and persuasive warning to all American voters. In the end, Something Lost, Something Gained is a testament to the idea that the personal is political, and the political is personal, providing a blueprint for what each of us can do to make our lives better. Hillary has "looked at life from both sides now." In these pages, she shares the latest chapter of her inspiring life and shows us how to age with grace and keep moving forward, with grit, joy, purpose, and a sense of humor.

Terror de Estado

Hillary Clinton y Louise Penny nos sorprenden con un thriller cargado de adrenalina e información privilegiada. Terror de Estado sigue la trayectoria de una secretaria de Estado novel que se incorpora a la administración de su rival, un presidente que llega al poder tras un mandato que relegó a Estados Unidos a un segundo plano en el tablero internacional. Cuando una serie de ataques terroristas dinamita el orden establecido, esta mujer será la encargada de aglutinar al equipo que descifre aquella conspiración letal, un plan calculado al milímetro para sacar provecho de un gobierno estadounidense débil y desconectado de la realidad. Este thriller de alto voltaje revela secretos políticos de alcance global accesibles tan sólo a quien conoce la Casa Blanca desde dentro. La crítica ha dicho... «Terror de Estado nos presenta una increíble trama de suspense que sólo serás capaz de soltar cuando tus cervicales te digan basta. Prepárate para quedarte despierto hasta las tantas tratando de seguir los pasos de la secretaria Adams y el equipo que ha formado para resolver el caso.» GoodMorningAmerica.com «Sumamente divertido. [...] Penny y Clinton hacen gala de un enorme talento para las intrigas internacionales y un gran dominio del ritmo narrativo. [...] Con todo, lo mejor de Terror de Estado es también su arma secreta: la amistad entre mujeres.» The Washington Post «Hillary Rodham Clinton y Louise Penny [...] han concebido una vibrante historia sobre terrorismo, corrupción y altas esferas diplomáticas, fabulosamente narrada y plagada de anécdotas y detalles que sólo puede aportar alguien que ha estado dentro.» TIME «No me esperaba, cuando empecé a leer Terror de Estado, la novela debut de Hillary Rodham Clinton, que fuese la clase de thriller que me apetecía leer lentamente, sumergiéndome en las exquisitas revelaciones sobre cómo se comportan realmente los políticos de alto nivel entre sí (dicen más palabrotas de lo que yo imaginaba), y al mismo tiempo a toda prisa y llena de pánico ante las cosas que se narran. Pero debería haberlo advertido: la coguionista de Clinton es la muy elegante escritora canadiense de novelas policíacas Louise Penny y esta parece ser una pareja hecha en el cielo. Se trata de una obra meticulosamente tramada, inteligente y aterradora, un retrato de un mundo que se enfrenta a terribles amenazas, donde 'hay hombres insignificantes que menosprecian a mujeres hechas y derechas de mediana edad', en la que la amistad femenina es clave. [...] No se lo pierdan.» The Guardian «Se podría decir que Terror de Estado inaugura el género de thriller político feminista, por muchas razones. Desde la primera página conectas con la protagonista y entiendes por qué para una mujer el camino es siempre más complicado. '¿Voy bien?', pregunta la secretaria de Estado a su asesor. Y tú, como lectora, te preguntas a tu vez cuántas veces habrá dudado Hillary Clinton de eso mismo, cuántas fue despiadadamente criticada por su aspecto físico, por su ropa, maquillaje o corte de pelo.» Woman

Vital Voices: The Power of Women Leading Change Around the World

The world is waking up to a new reality, a rising consciousness of women's contribution to our shared progress. In the past, those who have cared about improving the lives of girls and women have spoken a language of fairness. While that language and that sentiment are still relevant today, there is something even more compelling to be said about women: women are the most consistently under-utilized resource in just about every country in the world, and are vehicles of transformational change. The Economist estimates that women have contributed more to global GDP growth over the past decade than new technology or emerging heavyweights India and China. The UN has found that women reinvest up to 90 percent of their income in their families and communities. Where we see an increase in women's university enrollment rates, an increase in women's earnings, improved maternal health and a reduction in violence against women, we see more prosperous communities, better educated, healthier families and the preservation of equal human rights. There can be no question - women's progress is global progress, and now is the opportune moment to put forward a concrete approach for women's proven transformational style of leadership. Vital Voices presents the unique model of women's leadership that Vital Voices Global Partnership has identified in 14 years of engaging and supporting a network of thousands of women leaders in 127 countries around the world. Two years ago, Vital Voices began actively incorporating the leadership model in the curricula of international trainings and programs with emerging and established women in our global network of leaders, and the response has been overwhelming, leading to new regional chapters, businesswomen's networks, mentoring clubs, and events around the world. The Vital Voices Leadership Model defines six characteristic practices of a leader who has sustainable, transformative impact: finding your voice, leading with purpose, crossing lines that divide, going against the grain, paying it forward, and understanding that leadership is not a destination. Four detailed profiles of real women leaders will anchor chapters on each practice, based on interviews with figures such as Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese pro-democracy leader and Nobel Peace Prize recipient, as well as many lesser-known stories of inspiring women generating real change in their local communities. Throughout the book, internationally recognizable, established women leaders (a potential list includes Michele Bachelet, former president of Chile, and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, president of Liberia) will serve as contributors. This theory of women's leadership will mobilize a surge of women to realize the tenets of leadership, thereby contributing to a transformative shift in global dynamic - social, economic, political - that accelerates peace and prosperity in our world. Women are agents of progress, and their leadership is not qualified by title, salary or social standing. The women featured in Vital Voices are leaders of a new order who are changing the world, and the Vital Voices Leadership Model will enhance the anyone's potential to lead the way to transformational change.

The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience

Hillary Rodham Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, share the stories of the gutsy women who have inspired them—women with the courage to stand up to the status quo, ask hard questions, and get the job done. She couldn't have been more than seven or eight years old. "Go ahead, ask your question," her father urged, nudging her forward. She smiled shyly and said, "You're my hero. Who's yours?" Many people—especially girls—have asked us that same question over the years. It's one of our favorite topics. HILLARY: Growing up, I knew hardly any women who worked outside the home. So I looked to my mother, my teachers, and the pages of Life magazine for inspiration. After learning that Amelia Earhart kept a scrapbook with newspaper articles about successful women in male-dominated jobs, I started a scrapbook of my own. Long after I stopped clipping articles, I continued to seek out stories of women who seemed to be redefining what was possible. CHELSEA: This book is the continuation of a conversation the two of us have been having since I was little. For me, too, my mom was a hero; so were my grandmothers. My early teachers were also women. But I grew up in a world very different from theirs. My pediatrician was a woman, and so was the first mayor of Little Rock who I remember from my childhood. Most of my close friends' moms worked outside the home as nurses, doctors, teachers, professors, and in business. And women were going into space and breaking records here on Earth. Ensuring the rights and opportunities of women and girls remains a big piece of the unfinished business of the twenty-first century. While there's a lot of work to do, we know that throughout history and around the globe women have overcome the toughest resistance imaginable to win victories that have made progress possible for all of us. That is the achievement of each of the women in this book. So how did they do it? The answers are as unique as the women themselves. Civil rights activist Dorothy Height, LGBTQ trailblazer Edie Windsor, and swimmer Diana Nyad kept pushing forward, no matter what. Writers like Rachel Carson and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie named something no one had dared talk about before. Historian Mary Beard used wit to open doors that were once closed, and Wangari Maathai, who sparked a movement to plant trees, understood the power of role modeling. Harriet Tubman and Malala Yousafzai looked fear in the face and persevered. Nearly every single one of these women was fiercely optimistic—they had faith that their actions could make a difference. And they were right. To us, they are all gutsy women—leaders with the courage to stand up to the status quo, ask hard questions, and get the job done. So in the moments when the long haul seems awfully long, we hope you will draw strength from these stories. We do. Because if history shows one thing, it's that the world needs gutsy women.

What Happened

"In the past, for reasons I try to explain, I've often felt I had to be careful in public, like I was up on a wire without a net. Now I'm letting my guard down." -Hillary Rodham Clinton, from the introduction of What Happened For the first time, Hillary Rodham Clinton reveals what she was thinking and feeling during one of the most controversial and unpredictable presidential elections in history. Now free from the constraints of running, Hillary takes you inside the intense personal experience of becoming the first woman nominated for president by a major party in an election marked by rage, sexism, exhilarating highs and infuriating lows, stranger-than-fiction twists, Russian interference, and an opponent who broke all the rules. This is her most personal memoir yet. In these pages, she describes what it was like to run against Donald Trump, the mistakes she made, how she has coped with a shocking and devastating loss, and how she found the strength to pick herself back up afterward. With humor and candor, she tells readers what it took to get back on her feet-the rituals, relationships, and reading that got her through, and what the experience has taught her about life. She speaks about the challenges of being a strong woman in the public eye, the criticism over her voice, age, and appearance, and the double standard confronting women in politics. She lays out how the 2016 election was marked by an unprecedented assault on our democracy by a foreign adversary. By analyzing the evidence and connecting the dots, Hillary shows just how dangerous the forces are that shaped the outcome, and why Americans need to understand them to protect our values and our democracy in the future. The election of 2016 was unprecedented and historic. What Happened is the story of that campaign and its aftermath-both a deeply intimate account and a cautionary tale for the nation.

It Takes a Village

A splendid celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Grammy Award-winning It Takes a Village, including a new introduction read by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. A decade ago, then First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton chronicled her quest -- both deeply personal and, in the truest sense, public -- to help make our society into the kind of village that enables children to become smart, able, resilient adults. For more than thirty-five years, Senator Clinton has made children her passion and her cause. Her long experience has strengthened her conviction that how children develop and what they need to succeed are inextricably entwined with the society in which they live and how well it sustains and supports its families and individuals. In other words, it takes a village to raise a child. In her new introduction, Senator Clinton reflects on how our village has changed over the last decade -- from the impact of the Internet to new research in early child development and education. She discusses issues of increasing concern -- security, the environment, the national debt -- and looks at where we have made progress and where there is still work to be done. It Takes a Village has become a classic. As relevant as ever, this anniversary edition makes it abundantly clear that the choices we make today about how we raise our children and how we support families will determine how our nation will face the challenges of this century.

Living History

Hillary Rodham Clinton is known to hundreds of millions of people around the world. Yet few beyond her close friends and family have ever heard her account of her extraordinary journey. She writes with candor, humor and passion about her upbringing in suburban, middle-class America in the 1950s and her transformation from Goldwater Girl to student activist to controversial First Lady. Living History is her revealing memoir of life through the White House years. It is also her chronicle of living history with Bill Clinton, a thirty-year adventure in love and politics that survives personal betrayal, relentless partisan investigations and constant public scrutiny. Hillary Rodham Clinton came of age during a time of tumultuous social and political change in America. Like many women of her generation, she grew up with choices and opportunities unknown to her mother or grandmother. She charted her own course through unexplored terrain -- responding to the changing times and her own internal compass -- and became an emblem for some and a lightning rod for others. Wife, mother, lawyer, advocate and international icon, she has lived through America's great political wars, from Watergate to Whitewater. The only First Lady to play a major role in shaping domestic legislation, Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled tirelessly around the country to champion health care, expand economic and educational opportunity and promote the needs of children and families, and she crisscrossed the globe on behalf of women's rights, human rights and democracy. She redefined the position of First Lady and helped save the presidency from an unconstitutional, politically motivated impeachment. Intimate, powerful and inspiring, Living History captures the essence of one of the most remarkable women of our time and the challenging process by which she came to define herself and find her own voice -- as a woman and as a formidable figure in American politics.
