ABSTRACT
The aim of this research is to show the contesting representations of Hillary Clinton in her autobiography Living History (2003) and two biographies (2007): A Woman in Charge by Carl Bernstein and Her Way by Jeff Gerth and Don van Natta. The results of the analysis on Living History reveals that Hillary negotiates with the gendered writing convention of political autobiography and the double binds traps in building her image as a credible and capable world leader. Meanwhile, the study on the two biographies brings to light the consistent strategies to frame Hillary with gender stereotypes, double binds, as well as a negative and disturbing personality.
