“With Hillary Clinton's
political rise to the presidency, we may have seen the emergence of
women's rights as central to political discourse in the U.S. and
around the world. Women's rights have indeed become human rights, to
paraphrase Hillary Clinton's landmark speech in Beijing more than
two decades ago...
This book deals with the
nexus of women, development and democracy--as a post-Enlightenment,
post-modern and global feminist project of the West--by focusing on
the political leadership of one of the best-known women politicians
the United States has produced in recent times...
We are principally
interested in examining the role Hillary Clinton--as First Lady,
Senator and Secretary of State--has played as a transformational
figure in bridging women's development with democratic institutions
in the developing and developed societies.”
-- Excerpted from Chapter
One (pg. 2)
Now
that she has been nominated by the Democratic Party as its candidate,
Hillary Clinton is on the verge of making history as the first woman
President of the United States. And while she has been constantly
scrutinized by the media over the last couple of years, the subject
of the focus has been fairly superficial.
The
bulk of the day-to-day talk has been about Bengazi, her email and her
standing in the polls. But precious little attention has been paid to
Hillary's considerable achievements, especially those realized during
her tenure as Secretary of State.
Voters
interested in making an informed choice based on an in-depth analysis
of the Clinton agenda, need look no further than "The Global
Hillary: Women's Political Leadership in Cultural Contexts."
This enlightening collection of essays by leading luminaries in
fields ranging from psychology to political science was edited by
Dinesh Sharma, Associate Research Professor at the Institute for
Global Cultural Studies, SUNY Binghamton.
After
publishing a couple of timely books about President Obama, "The
Global Obama" and "Barack Obama in Hawai'i and Indonesia,"
Dr. Sharma again proves to have his finger on the pulse with this
timely opus. Foremost among the topics explored is the "Hillary
Doctrine" linking the subjugation of women to the deteriorating
conditions in many countries around the globe. As Secretary Clinton
herself observed, "It was no coincidence that that the places
where women's lives were most undervalued largely lined up with the
parts of the world most plagued by instability, conflict, extremism
and poverty.
A
revealing peek into the mind, motivations and likely agenda of the
intelligent, inveterate feminist who just might be the 45th President
of the United States.

Hello everyone, I've been following this insightful discussion on global perspectives, and I believe visual content can play a pivotal role in enhancing our understanding. I recently came across a comprehensive collection of seminar images at Depositphotos that beautifully capture the essence of diverse discussions and interactions. Visual aids often bridge language gaps, fostering a deeper comprehension of complex topics. Exploring such images might offer us a unique way to connect with the global narrative we're discussing. Let's embrace the power of visuals in our pursuit of shared knowledge.
