Recensione:

“Immensely satisfying and very entertaining.” (Tina Brown, author of The Diana Chronicles)

“A cascade of crackling insights about gender, marriage, work, and politics that yields genuine literary pleasure.” (Hendrik Hertzberg, author of Politics: Observations and Arguments)

“Intriguing.... These essays attest to the infinite subjectivity of people’s views, the pure relativism of perception....This volume of reflections corroborates Mrs. Clinton’s own long-ago observation that she is ‘a Rorschach test’ for voters.” (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times)

“Pithy, imaginative, and bold essays by exceptionally shrewd women writers....In all, a discerning, engrossing dissection not only of a galvanizing figure but also of our conflicted feelings about women and power.” (Booklist)

“An unusually insightful and particularly well written collection.” (New York Daily News)

“The collection gathers strength as the variety and ferocity of opinions, insights, disappointments, and projections unfolds, often revealing more about the writers than about Hillary, and more about our warring notions of power, politics, and sex roles than it seems possible to hold in any brain at one time.” (Elizabeth Benedict, Huffington Post)

“This original collection features a stellar group of women writers.” (Newsday)

“A timely book of essays (or critiques, it often seems) written by many of today’s prominent women writers....the book is decidedly fluid....the contributors share a certain elegance in tone....the collection is a unique study and more insightful, if critical, than a general biography.” (Forbes.com)

“Clever, entertaining, provocative, and elegantly written.” (Newsweek)

“Thirty Ways does provide grist for thought....canny and thoughtful.” (New York Observer)
