Thirty Ways of Looking at Hillary

Candidate Clinton Scrutinized by Women

"The 24/7 replaying of that [crying] moment on cable television also reminds us how relentlessly Mrs. Clinton has been dissected, deconstructed and decoded over the years: by now her marriage, her hair, her pantsuits, her voice and her laugh have been more minutely anatomized than her voting record on Iraq, her (mis-)handling of health care during her husband’s administration or her stands on Iran, Social Security and immigration. This willful focus on the personal is underscored by “Thirty Ways of Looking at Hillary,” an intriguing but highly uneven anthology of reflections about Mrs. Clinton by a spectrum of well-known female writers."

An EXCELLENT article (or really, a book review). Thank you, Ms. Kakutani, for recognizing the bias both in this book and throughout all the media. I'm glad someone has addressed it in such a concise manner.

I must admit though, it's that type of feminism, criticism, and hypocrisy that renders me ashamed of my own gender.
