Career Advice from Hillary Rodham Clinton: "You Don't Have to Be Perfect. Most Men Never Think Like That."

by Cindi Leive

She's been leaning in for four decades—but now, in between a major book tour and a possible history-making presidential run, Hillary Rodham Clinton is putting her feet up and offering "hard-earned" career lessons she says all young women should know.
