Something Lost, Something Gained

release date: Sep 17, 2024
Something Lost, Something Gained
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 of love, politics, liberty, democracy, leadership, the threats we face, and the future within our reach. Now with a new afterword! In Something Lost, Something Gained, former First Lady Hillary Clinton 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.

The Book of Gutsy Women

release date: Oct 01, 2019
The Book of Gutsy Women
Now an eight-part docuseries on Apple TV+ 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.

Lo que pasó

release date: Sep 18, 2018
Lo que pasó
“Una cautivadora obra, maravillosamente sintetizada, que no se puede soltar” (Slate). Best seller #1 del New York Times y el Libro del Año #1 de No-ficción de la revista Time: El tomo de memorias más personal de Hillary Rodham Clinton hasta ahora sobre la elección presidencial de 2016. En este libro de memorias “cándido y tragicómico” (The New York Times), Hillary Rodham Clinton revela lo que pensaba y sentía durante una de las más controversiales e impredecibles elecciones presidenciales de la historia. Nos lleva dentro de una experiencia personal intensa de haber sido la primera mujer nominada para presidente por un importante partido en una elección marcada por ira, sexismo, excitantes altas y exasperantes bajas, giros más raros que en una obra de ficción, interferencia rusa, y un opositor que violó todas las reglas. “En su obra más emocionalmente cruda” (People), Hillary describe la experiencia de su candidatura para presidente contra Donald Trump, los errores que cometió, cómo ha lidiado con una traumática y devastadora derrota, y cómo encontró fuerzas para levantarse después. Les cuenta a los lectores lo que requirió poder sobreponerse: los rituales, las relaciones, y lecturas que la ayudaron a superarlo todo y lo que la experiencia le enseñó acerca de la vida. En este “manifiesto feminista” (The New York Times), ella habla de los desafíos de ser una mujer fuerte en el ojo público, las críticas sobre su voz, su edad y su apariencia, y la doble moral que confrontan las mujeres en la política. A la vez que ofrece una “vigorizante... guía de nuestro escenario político” (The Washington Post), Lo que pasó expone cómo la elección de 2016 resultó marcada por un asalto sin precedente contra nuestra democracia por un adversario extranjero. Analizando la evidencia y atando cabos, Hillary muestra simplemente lo peligrosas que son las fuerzas que moldearon el resultado, y por qué los americanos necesitan entenderlas para proteger nuestros valores y nuestra democracia en el futuro. La elección de 2016 no tuvo precedente y fue histórica. Lo que pasó es el recuento de esa campaña, ahora con un epílogo que muestra cómo Hillary forcejeó con muchos de sus peores miedos que se están haciendo realidad en la Era de Trump, mientras encontraba esperanza en un surgimiento de activismo cívico, mujeres postulándose a cargos, y jóvenes marchando en las calles.

Ça s'est passé comme ça
Elle n’a plus rien à perdre. Elle peut enfin baisser la garde et raconter, plus libre que jamais, ce qui s’est passé lors de l’incroyable campagne électorale américaine de 2016. Hillary Rodham Clinton a été la première femme à être investie candidate aux présidentielles américaines par un grand parti. Après une campagne particulièrement tumultueuse, celle que la plupart pensait imbattable et dont tant de personnes à travers le monde espéraient la victoire a pourtant échoué. Dans ces mémoires, à n’en pas douter son livre le plus personnel, elle raconte de l’intérieur les coulisses d’une campagne marquée par la violence, la colère, le sexisme. Mais aussi des retournements spectaculaires, les manipulations d’une puissance étrangère et, face à elle, un adversaire qui ne respecte aucune règle. Quelles erreurs reconnaît-elle avoir commises ? Comment se remet-on d’une bataille si violente, d’une telle exposition et d’une défaite cinglante ? Qu’a-t-elle à dire sur Donald Trump ? Quel est le vrai rôle joué par la Russie dans cette élection ? Comment l’Amérique a-t-elle pu laisser une puissance ennemie manipuler une élection de la sorte ? Comment la première puissance mondiale a-t-elle pu faire entrer à la Maison-Blanche un homme aussi dangereux que Donald Trump ? Riche en révélations, le livre d’Hillary Clinton offre un récit inattendu, féroce, parfois drôle et souvent touchant d’un épisode décisif pour les États-Unis et pour le monde.

What Happened

release date: Sep 12, 2017
What Happened
“An engaging, beautifully synthesized page-turner” (Slate). The #1 New York Times bestseller and Time #1 Nonfiction Book of the Year: Hillary Rodham Clinton’s most personal memoir yet, about the 2016 presidential election. In this “candid and blackly funny” (The New York Times) memoir, Hillary Rodham Clinton reveals what she was thinking and feeling during one of the most controversial and unpredictable presidential elections in history. She takes us 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. “At her most emotionally raw” (People), Hillary 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. 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. In this “feminist manifesto” (The New York Times), she speaks to 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. Offering a “bracing... guide to our political arena” (The Washington Post), What Happened 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, now with a new epilogue showing how Hillary grappled with many of her worst fears coming true in the Trump Era, while finding new hope in a surge of civic activism, women running for office, and young people marching in the streets.

Hard Choices
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON''S INSIDE ACCOUNT OF THE CRISES, CHOICES AND CHALLENGES SHE FACED DURING HER FOUR YEARS AS AMERICA''S 67THSECRETARY OF STATE, AND HOW THOSE EXPERIENCES DRIVE HER VIEW OF THE FUTURE, INCLUDING A NEW EPILOGUE. ''All of us face hard choices in our lives,'' Hillary Rodham Clinton writes at the start of this personal chronicle of years at the centre of world events. ''Life is about making such choices. Our choices and how we handle them shape the people we become.'' In the aftermath of her 2008 presidential run, she expected to return to representing New York in the Unites States Senate. To her surprise, her formal rival for the Democratic Party nomination, newly elected President Barack Obama, asked her to serve in his administration as Secretary of State. This memoir is the story of the four extraordinary and historic years that followed, and the hard choices that she and her colleagues confronted. Secretary Clinton and President Obama had to decide how to repair fractured alliances, wind down two wars and address a global financial crisis. They faced a rising competitor in China, growing threats from Iran and North Korea, and revolutions across the Middle East. Along the way, they grappled with some of the toughest dilemmas of US foreign policy, especially the decision to send Americans into harm''s way, from Afghanistan to Libya to the hunt for Osama bin Laden. By the end of her tenure, Secretary Clinton had visited 112 countries, travelled nearly one million miles and gained a truly global perspective on many of the major trends reshaping the landscape of the twenty-first century, from economic inequality to climate change to revolutions in energy, communications and health. Drawing on conversations with numerous leaders and experts, Secretary Clinton offers her views on what it will take for the United States to compete and thrive in an interdependent world. She makes a passionate case for human rights and the full participation in society of girls, youth and LGBT people. An astute eyewitness to decades of social change, she distinguishes the trendlines from the headlines and describes the progress occurring throughout the world, day after day. Secretary Clinton''s descriptions of diplomatic conversations at the highest levels offer readers a masterclass in international relations, as does her analysis of how we can best use ''smart power'' to deliver security and prosperity in a rapidly changing world - one in which America remains the indispensable nation.

Cruciale keuzes
Hillary Rodham Clinton doet van binnenuit verslag over de crises, keuzes en catastrofes die ze heeft meegemaakt in de vier jaar waarin ze minister van Buitenlandse Zaken van de Verenigde Staten is geweest en beschrijft hoe haar kijk op de toekomst daardoor is beïnvloed. Een onthullende kijk achter de schermen van de internationale diplomatie. `We komen in het leven allemaal voor cruciale keuzes te staan, schrijft ze aan het begin van haar persoonlijke kroniek van vier jaar waarin ze in het middelpunt stond van de wereldpolitiek. `Het leven draait om het maken van dat soort keuzes. Onze keuzes en hoe we daarmee omgaan bepalen wat voor mensen we worden. Na de presidentsverkiezingen van 2008 verwachtte ze dat ze voor de staat New York zou terugkeren in de Senaat. Maar tot haar verbazing vroeg de man die haar in de strijd om de Democratische nominatie had verslagen, de pas verkozen president Barack Obama, haar om minister van Buitenlandse Zaken te worden. Dit boek is de neerslag van de vier uitzonderlijke, historische jaren die volgden, en van de keuzes waarvoor zij en haar collegas kwamen te staan. Clinton en Obama moesten gehavende bondgenootschappen oplappen, een eind maken aan twee oorlogen en een antwoord zoeken op een wereldwijde financiële crisis. Ze kregen te maken met een steeds sterkere concurrent, China, met bedreigingen vanuit Iran en Noord-Korea en met de Arabische Lente die het Midden-Oosten in vuur en vlam zette. Hillary Clinton biedt de lezer een masterclass in internationale diplomatie op het hoogste niveau. Ze geeft ook heet van de naald haar kijk op hoe macht `slim kan worden aangewend om veiligheid en voorspoed te brengen in een wereld waarin de Verenigde Staten een land blijven waar niemand omheen kan.

Civiliser la démocratie
Hillary Clinton, sénateur de New York, est aujourd''hui très engagée dans la course à la Maison Blanche. Personnalité politique de premier plan, elle s''est notamment illustrée voici quelques années dans le cadre du Forum économique de Davos pour réaffirmer la notion de démocratie, dans la grande tradition de la pensée politique nord-américaine. Aux ultra-libéraux pensant qu''il suffit d''une constitution républicaine et de marchés libres pour construire une société ouverte, Hillary Clinton répond clairement qu''ils sont les fossoyeurs de la démocratie. Pour civiliser la démocratie, il faut garantir l''autonomie de la société civile, des associations et de la démocratie participative, non seulement par rapport à l''État, mais surtout vis-à-vis des marchés et de leur prétention à occuper tous les espaces de nos sociétés. Nos démocraties ont besoin de " citoyens ", pas de clients. Un texte essentiel pour l''avenir de la démocratie à l''heure de la mondialisation.

It Takes a Village

It Takes a Village
In celebration of the tenth anniversary of It Takes a Village, this splendid edition includes photographs and a new Introduction by 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. It Takes a Village is “a textbook for caring....Filled with truths that are worth a read, and a reread” (The Dallas Morning News). For more than thirty-five years, Senator Clinton has made children her passion and her cause. Her long experience—not only through her roles as mother, daughter, sister, and wife but also as advocate, legal expert, and public servant—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.

Dear Socks, Dear Buddy
In a world dominated by video games, voice mail, and television, it''s easy to overlook the importance of the written word. If one very important thing parents can do to help their children learn is read to them, then encouraging them to write must run a close second. What better -- and more rewarding -- way to teach a child these invaluable communication skills than through letter writing?In her warm and engaging text, Mrs. Clinton suggests ways parents can help their children initiate and enjoy the experience of writing and receiving letters, sharing her family''s (and pets'') experience, and explains how letters to Socks and Buddy are received, sorted, and answered at the U.S. Soldiers'' and Airmen''s Home. Mrs. Clinton gives a brief pet history of the White House, from Dolley Madison''s parrot and Teddy Roosevelt''s children''s menagerie to the Bushes'' English springer spaniel Millie. She also talks about the ways Socks and Buddy participate in White House life, such as greeting guests and visiting hospitals and nursing homes. Fans of the First Pets will be delighted by a section on their vital statistics (Socks'' tail length: 1 foot; Buddy''s snout length: 5 inches) and answers to the questions most asked by correspondents (Do you have room service?).In Dear Socks, Dear Buddy, Mrs. Clinton also shares more than fifty letters children have sent the nation''s First Pets, from a simple request for a paw-tograph to more exacting notes of good wishes (I want to give you a big heart, as big as the whole world) and generous advice (Just because they went on a trip and didn''t take you doesn''t mean they don''t love you any more). Illustrated with more than eighty photographs ofSocks and Buddy on the job and at play in the White House, this book will inspire children to share their ideas and wishes through writing.
