Summary

Hillary Rodham Clinton is one of the most polarizing figures in modern American politics. To critics, she is willful and ambitious-a liberal more interested in promoting her agenda than uniting the country. To supporters, she's intelligent and committed-an advocate of social causes such as universal health care that would benefit average citizens. Abhor or admire her, the importance of Hillary's historic run for the Democratic presidential nomination is indisputable.
