According to the New York Times, "The yet-to-be titled book will use a number of dramatic moments during Secretary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State to frame her thoughts about the recent history of U.S. foreign policy and the urgent, ongoing need for American leadership in a changing world."
Other topics will include the killing of Osama bin Laden, the overthrow of Libya's Qaddafi regime and her controversial handling of it, and the killings of three Americans (one an ambassador) in Benghazi last year. In addition, it will address the feminist Clinton's specific attention to women and girls in underdeveloped nations.
The book will doubtlessly be fascinating, but we have to admit that there are certain topics that likely won't be included that, frankly, we're dying to know. Clinton's known for being tight-lipped about her personal life, which illuminates the double standard faced by women in politics: One can hardly imagine her describing, as President Obama wrote about Michelle in The Audacity of Hope, that their first kiss "tasted like chocolate").
But the personal lives of politicians, regardless of their gender, have always been fascinating to the rest of us. Particularly the Clintons, whose marriage could be of convenience, of love, of mutual respect... or all of the above. Or none of the above. As both Bill and Hillary have dealt with health problems in the last few years, it's become clear that there's a chance we may never know the true nature of their marriage.
Granted, a biopic screenplay called Rodham circulating Hollywood may display more of the private side of Hillary. But not without taking some artistic license, I'm sure.
