I wasn't fully committed to reading this book at first. I went into it with a "one chapter at a time" attitude. I really didn't feel like re-living the election. However she won me over "one chapter at a time". There is more than politics in this book. The parts I enjoyed the most were sections about what it was like to raise a child in the White House and her feelings about being a mother and a grandmother, as well as her feelings about her own mother. I don't think I understood what an incredibly accomplished woman she is and you can't help but respect her life's work regardless of how you feel about her politics. She was a trail blazer in many ways. I liked when she talked about life on the campaign trail and what that entailed and I was really interested in her experience as a female in politics. She also explained with detailed examples how opinion based news and social media has changed politics on a global level. That was a bit discouraging. I think I learned a lot from reading this book. There were many things I thought I knew but realized I didn't understand at all. And isn't that one of the best things about reading?
