The former Secretary of State, U.S. Senator, and First Lady takes the stage at LIVE for a candid and in-depth conversation.

Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton has not slowed down since she won the popular vote in the 2016 presidential election. Despite losing the presidency, she has remained a key figure in electoral politics, including founding Onward Together, which advances progressive values and encourages people to organize, get involved, and run for office. She is the author of ten best-selling books, including a mystery novel co-written with Louise Penny and two books co-written with her daughter, Chelsea. She is the host of the podcast, You and Me Both, in which she is joined by guests who fascinate her in order to tackle the topics that shape our lives, from faith and family to cooking and literature.

Secretary Clinton comes to the Library for one evening only to discuss books, politics, and much more with author Jennifer Weiner.

This March celebrate Women's History Month with the women making history.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

Hillary Rodham Clinton has spent over five decades in public service as an advocate, attorney, First Lady, U.S. Senator, U.S. Secretary of State, and presidential candidate. As 67th U.S. Secretary of State, her "smart power" approach to foreign policy repositioned American diplomacy and development for the 21st century. Clinton played a central role in restoring America’s standing in the world, reasserting the United States as a Pacific power, imposing crippling sanctions on Iran and North Korea, responding to the Arab Awakening, and negotiating a ceasefire in the Middle East. Earlier, as First Lady and Senator for New York, she traveled to more than 80 countries as a champion of human rights, democracy, and opportunities for women and girls. She also worked to provide health care to millions of children, create jobs and opportunity, and support first responders who risked their lives at Ground Zero. In her historic 2016 campaign for President of the United States, Clinton won 66 million votes. She is the author of ten best-selling books; host of the podcast You and Me Both; founder of the global production studio HiddenLight Productions; Chancellor of Queen’s University Belfast; and a Professor of Practice at the School of International and Public Affairs and Presidential Fellow at Columbia World Projects at Columbia University. She is married to former U.S. President Bill Clinton, has one daughter Chelsea, and three grandchildren: Charlotte, Aidan, and Jasper.

Jennifer Weiner is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of twenty-one books, including The Breakaway (out in paperback May 7), The Summer Place, That Summer, Big Summer, Mrs. Everything, In Her Shoes, Good in Bed, and a memoir in essays, Hungry Heart. Her new book, The Griffin Sisters Greatest Hits, will be published in 2025. She has appeared on many national television programs, including The Today Show and Good Morning America, and her work has been published in newspapers and magazines including The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Jennifer lives with her family in Philadelphia. Visit her online at JenniferWeiner.com.
