Victoria Woodhull was the first woman to be nominated for President but Hillary Clinton is the first woman to run for President who actually has some possibility of winning!
Regardless of political inclination most everyone would agree that Hillary’s nomination is a watershed moment – one that will change history, whether she wins or not.
Here are three picture books about Hillary – each of them effusive in their praise of her, and each of them beautifully illustrated. None of these even attempt to provide a balanced view, so if you are a steadfast Republican you might like to look away. J
In the interests of political neutrality I tried to find a picture book that positively portrays Donald Trump – couldn’t find one, but this looks funny at least.
