Reviews

Fitzpatrick tells the compelling stories of three women who preceded [Hillary] Clinton's quest [to become president]... Fitzpatrick is a worthy biographer, offering a rich, amply footnoted story of these quick-witted and resilient women. In a world where women were expected to demur, they lived large-and paid the price.

This book is a triumph, and an inspiration., Fitzpatrick's engaging The Highest Glass Ceiling: Women's Quest for the American Presidency implicitly questions the assumption that any rational woman could seriously believe that the White House was hers for the asking, by telling the entertaining, if ultimately depressing, stories of some women in the past who have failed., Women's quest for the U.S. presidency has been long and arduous'e"and Ellen Fitzpatrick, a superb scholar and writer, is the perfect author for this fascinating and overdue history., Ellen Fitzpatrick's wise and winning The Highest Glass Ceiling is destined to become the Profiles in Courage of the 2016 Presidential election, situating this year's presumptive Democratic candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton in a historic field of bold female contenders, with special focus on the three who previously came closest-Victoria Woodhull, Margaret Chase Smith, and Shirley Chisholm. What enabled these women to 'step out of context and into history,' as a Los Angeles Times reporter wrote of Smith, to 'shake it up, make it change,' as Chisholm aimed to do?
