Living History
''Living History'' is a 2003 memoir by Hillary Rodham Clinton (a former First Lady and future Secretary of State of the United States), at which time she was a sitting Senator from New York.
==Background and writing==
In December 2000, Simon & Schuster agreed to pay Clinton a reported $8 million advance for what became ''Living History''—a near-record figure to an author for an advance at that time. Critics charged that the book deal, coming soon after her election to the U.S. Senate, but before being sworn into office, was not in adherence to the ethical standards required for members of the U.S. Senate. However, in February 2001, the Senate Ethics Committee gave Clinton approval for the deal.
Clinton reportedly used three ghostwriters for ''Living History'', veteran ghostwriter Maryanne Vollers, speechwriter Alison Muscatine, and researcher Ruby Shamir. Muscatine later related how the three would meet at Clinton's house early in the morning before she left for the Capitol building, do a day's worth of writing, and then meet again after midnight at Clinton's for the senator to edit the work until three o'clock in the morning. Clinton's acknowledgment section stated: "This book may not have taken a village to write, but it certainly took a superb team ... The smartest decision I made was to ask Lissa Muscatine, Maryanne Vollers and Ruby Shamir to spend two years of their lives working with me. Lissa () responsible for many of the words in my speeches as First Lady and in this book ... Maryanne () the rare gift of understanding how to help another's voice emerge ... Ruby (the job of ) amassing, reviewing and synthesizing millions of words written about me."〔''Living History'', p. 529.〕
However, the three women did not receive co-writing credit on the book's cover. This is not unusual for political autobiographies, but in the same period some other political figures were given co-writing credit, as for instance fellow Senator John Edwards gave to writer John Auchard on his book ''Four Trials'' and fellow Senator John McCain gave to administrative assistant Mark Salter on his books ''Faith of My Fathers'', ''Worth the Fighting For'', ''Why Courage Matters'', and ''Character Is Destiny''.
