In the New York Times bestselling memoir Both/And, first time author Huma Abedin—Hillary Clinton’s top aide and advisor —offers “a gripping testament to the power of a woman finding her voice, owning her ambition, and sharing her truth” (Glennon Doyle).
Huma Abedin has spent her career in public service and national politics; she began as an intern in First Lady Hillary Clinton’s office in 1996. Four years later after leaving the White House, she came to the US Senate as Senior Advisor to Senator Clinton and traveled with her as Chief of Staff for the 2008 presidential campaign. In 2009, she was appointed the Deputy Chief of Staff for the US Department of State and served as the Vice Chair of Hillary for America in 2016.
Writers on a New England Stage is a partnership between NHPR and The Music Hall in Portsmouth.
