Besides Eleanor Roosevelt, only Hillary Rodham Clinton evokes controversy that's compelled the American public to seriously scrutinize the role of the U.S. President's wife. More activist than advocate, she's championed causes that have drawn both admiration and condemnation with equal fervor.

Apart from symbolizing a strong First Lady, Hillary's remarkable story in this superb A&E Biography shows how she's provoked strong reactions all her life. Starting as a conservative Goldwater girl in the early '60s, she evolved into a campus activist at Wellesley College, then feminist law student at Yale, where she met the man who would become her husband, and eventually the nation's president.

Told through narrative and revealing interviews with relatives and long-time friends (like Mary Steenburgen), this presentation examines the turning points in her life, portraying a woman both ambitious and ardent in controversial causes.

And, though it concludes prior to the impeachment process that rocked her husband's second term of office, the biography succeeds in profiling a woman who appears to have found peace with herself, having reconciled at last the roles of mother, career person, and wife of the most powerful politician in the world. --Stephan Magcosta

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic, September 8, 2000

This review is from: Biography - Hillary Rodham Clinton: Changing the Rules [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have owned this video for many years and learned more from it each time I watch it. The fascinating coverage of Hillary Clinton's life from childhood until First Lady will educate many viewers. It was particularly well made because it included many interviews from long-time friends that have watched her growth and development as a professional advocate over the years. The video also lets young women today see the choices available to them when they are determining their own personal and career paths. Hillary Clinton is from a different generation from them, but the choices have a great deal of similarity. For this reason, I bought the video for our county public library, and recommend it for any public or private library.

Perhaps the title should have been "Hillary Clinton - Is She the Antichrist?"
