Bernstein, Carl
A Woman in Charge Carl Bernstein's stunning portrait of Hillary Rodham Clinton shows us the true trajectory of her life and career with its zigzag bursts of risks taken and safety sought. Bernstein gives us the most detailed, sophisticated, comprehensive, and revealing account we have had of the complex human being and political meteor who has already helped define one presidency and may well become, herself, the woman in charge of another. |

Nafisi, Azar
Reading Lolita in Tehran For two years before she left Iran in 1997, Nafisi gathered seven young women at her house every Thursday morning to read and discuss forbidden works of Western literature. They were unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, but soon they began to open up and to speak more freely, not only about the novels they were reading but also about themselves, their dreams and disappointments. |
