Hillary Rodham Clinton: Some Girls Are Born to Lead - Hardcover

In the 1950s, it was a man's world. Girls weren't supposed to act smart, tough, or ambitious. Even though, deep inside, they may have felt that way.

And then along came Hillary. Brave, brilliant, and unstoppable, she was out to change the world.

They said a woman couldn't be a mother and a lawyer. Hillary was both. They said a woman shouldn't be too strong or too smart. Hillary was fearlessly herself.

It didn't matter what people said—she was born to lead.

From Michelle Markel and LeUyen Pham comes an inspiring portrait of a girl who fought to make a difference—and paved the way for women everywhere.
