Since the early 1990s she's continually been one of the most famous and most covered people on the planet. Even before that, she was at least somewhat in the public eye as first lady of Arkansas, a pioneering woman lawyer, and even a noteworthy commencement speaker.

They show that a single person, driven by an enduring set of commitments, nonetheless looks very different to different people at different times as she inhabits diverse roles and the country's circumstances and politics shift around her.
