In examining Hillary Clinton’s rhetoric, the authors find a full-bodied politician, not the caricature so often offered up by the media. Using highly novel analytical procedures, the authors point up Clinton’s complexity and dynamism, and juxtapose them with the very real prejudices women still face in U.S. politics. This book will rankle the reader. And it should.—Roderick P. Hart, author of American Eloquence: Language and Leadership in the Twentieth Century
