Michael D'Antonio - 2020
    The worst took the form of sexism and misogyny, much of it barely disguised.A pioneer for women, Clinton was burdened in ways no man ever was.

As The Hunting of Hillary makes clear, her achievements have been all the more remarkable for the unique opposition she encountered.

For those who recognized what happened to her, it offers affirmation. And for those who hope to carry Clinton's work into the future, it offers inspiration and instruction.
