Page 2 - ((PDF)) Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty by Hillary Rodham Clinton
P. 2
Clinton—all with the wisdom that comes from looking back on a full life with fresh eyes. She takes us along
as she returns to the classroom as a college professor, enjoys the bonds inside the exclusive club of former
First Ladies, moves past her dream of being president, and dives into new activism for women and
democracy. From canoeing with an ex-Nazi trying to deprogram white supremacists to sweltering with salt
farmers in the desert trying to adapt to the climate crisis in India, Hillary brings us to the front lines of our
biggest challenges. For the first time, Hillary shares the story of her operation to evacuate Afghan women to
safety in the harrowing final days of America’s longest war. But we also meet the brave women dissidents
defying dictators around the world, gain new personal insights about her old adversary Vladimir Putin, and
learn the best ways that worried parents can protect kids from toxic technology. We also hear her fervent and
persuasive warning to all American voters. In the end, Something Lost, Something Gained is a testament to
the idea that the personal is political, and the political is personal, providing a blueprint for what each of us
can do to make our lives better. Hillary has “looked at life from both sides now.” In these pages, she shares
the latest chapter of her inspiring life and shows us how to age with grace and keep moving forward, with
grit, joy, purpose, and a sense of humor.
