Condoleezza Rice's story, her experiences, and her contributions to
our society, offer a unique opportunity to consider the social and
historical discourses of our times, both past and present. Rice, a
descendent of slaves who rose to become one of the most influential
women in the world, represents many of the hopes, conflicts, and
questions that characterize the beginning of the 21st century in
American society. Her story allows the telling of many others that
have intersected with Rice's across the course of American history.
The time period covered in this book (1954-2005) was a time of
struggle for many in the United States and around the world. Civil
rights, equal rights, the Cold War, civil wars, the war on drugs,
illiteracy, and terrorism, all played out around the world as Rice
moved into increasingly powerful and influential posts. By the time
Condoleezza Rice was sworn in as the first African American woman
to serve as Secretary of State, she was clearly one of the most
powerful women in the world, a 'rock star' politician whose name
was recognized the world over. She was featured on the cover of
magazines and newspapers around the world, and commentators noted
her clothing and sense of style as much as they did her politics.
With sharp intelligence and fierce loyalty to President George W.
Bush, Rice exerted a key influence on many of the international
policies that affected our times. A timeline describes significant
events in Rice's life, and a bibliography lists print and
electronic sources for additional research.
