The Hillary Files -- History and Myth

One more related to Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's new book, Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History. Loved Kathryn Harrison's review of it in the NYTimes Book Review this weekend, especially this line:

Hillary Clinton, who famously refused to "bake cookies" in the background of her husband's career, is an Amazon, destined to be as much the property of myth as of history, between which lies a vast and unfixed common ground.

(Pic is of First Ladies in 1994, left to right: Nancy Reagan, Lady Bird Johnson, Clinton, then the current First Lady, Rosalynn Carter, Betty Ford, and Barbara Bush.)

I'm on a panel with Ulrich next week - details here. Do come!
