Summary
An introduction to the former first lady, senator, and secretary of state describes how she refuted period conventions against girls to become a lawyer and has supported important political and social causes to become a role model for women. 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. Includes a timeline, artist's note, and bibliography
