About This Item
Hyperion Books., 2000. First edition. 1st printing.. Hard cover. Fine in fine dust jacket.. 1 Cloth and paper over boards. 224 p. Audience: General/trade. Taking a critical look at the 21st century role model looked to by women, and using the very public Hillary Rodham Clinton as her prime example, attorney, tv journalist and conservative commentator Laura Ingraham urges women to abandon a belief system of women as victims, and to regain their power. She is critical of Clinton's "dishonesty" in not saying publicly what she really thought about her husband's accused behavior with a female intern sexually, while he was President; and for staying with him. Ingraham's chapters each end with the word "trap", with her final chapter before her Epilogue criticizing Clinton, apparently, for not being more Christian. She cautions readers against the "subtle and self-deceptive ways in which women sacrifice their own power and talents for superficial gains, " jacket marketing message. This view was published before Clinton's election in New York to the New York Senate, and before Hillary Clinton came close to winning the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, and was subsequently appointed by her campaign rival and President-elect, Barack Obama, as Secretary of State, becoming one of the most powerful and effective women on the world stage.

About Hedgehog's Whimsey Books
Hedgehog's Whimsey Books was born in a random moment when I decided to become a used books seller. Beginning in 2001, I apprenticed myself with a longtime pro in the next town, hoping to learn her secrets. She encouraged my free help but was wary of sharing all those secrets. Nonetheless, she turned me loose when she felt I would not embarrass her; she was impressed, finding I actually knew something about books and authors and styles. I am still learning, and I am having a good time with the random avalanches of books to be recycled into good homes, one by one. Inventory has mounted: my mother downsized her 7,000-plus library, and we (my Geezer and I) went to library book sales, yard emporiums on weekends, estate dispersals, and added the books my kids left behind, wanting to stock their own shelves anew. Some folks simply tooled down our dirt road and left boxes on our porch. Myself? Well, I am also a photographer, journalist, curious stuff collector, avid reader, writer, editor, small-time publisher, and online pontificator. At Hedgehog Enterprises, I do "Words & Pictures by & for Folks with Prickly Backs, Soft Bellies, & Small Brains", established in 1991. Since I have the smallest brain (by unpopular vote), I am the Head Hedgehog. Do I specialize in particular genres? I thought I did, but my barn has lots of Geezer-built shelves, and we have many interests, so topics vary, as do book conditions and editions. I try to describe such, and sometimes have too much fun as I poke along. There is no charge for the therapy of browsing, folks, so find my sites and stay awhile. If a purchase results, know that the tax collector in Newport, New Hampshire, may get a pleasant surprise. Or, I may buy a few more apple cider donuts or sweet potatoes. No pressure. Hedgehogs do have yearnings. If you should visit by chance or by appointment, enjoy our old New Hampshire farmhouse location alongside the Sugar River and its companion recreation Rail Trail, nearby two historic railroad covered bridges just off Chandlers Mill Road. Feel welcome. -- Lucy G Wells, proprietor.
