What Everyone Should Know About Hillary Clinton

Check out newspapers, books, reviews, critiques, magazines for the last twenty five years and you are unlikely to find any woman named more frequently than Hillary Rodham Clinton . There are books for her and against her; books that extol her virtues and some that castigate her for her faults. Some articles center on Hillary the mother, the wife, the attorney, the First Lady or the U. S. Senator. There is little chance that any other woman in the United States or abroad has been so examined or dissected. Occasionally its worthwhile to reduce the word products to simply consider what everyone should know about Hillary Clinton.

Raised in the Middle As much as anyone could be, Hillary Rodham was raised pretty much in the middle. She was born into a middle class family which was supported by a dad who sold curtains for a living and knew the value of a dollar. She was also born geographically more in the center of the country and away from the two coasts in the town of Park Ridge Illinois. Hillary grew up in a very typical suburban town in which as she recalls today, people left their doors unlocked and neighborhood kids played together. Like many young girls, Hillary was a Brownie and then a Girl Scout and spent lots of time in her church youth group. As a young person growing up, Hillary had lots of practice being a very normal American.

Education But Hillary proved to be above average in terms of intellect and personal drive so much so that she was admitted to Wellesley College, at the time an elite girls college just outside of Boston. There she thrived and at her graduation was chosen as the first student commencement speaker the school had ever had. Yale Law school was next.
