As difficult as it might seem, I want every stage of my life to be more exciting than the last.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn that time of transition, the former Secretary considered the possibilities: she could write, teach, travel, give speeches, start a business, fight for democracy, help to empower women, campaign for favored political candidates, spend more time with her grandchildren. Instead of choosing one or two, she decided to do it all. For nearly twenty years, Albright was in constant motion, navigating half a dozen professions, clashing with presidents and prime ministers, learning every day. After leaving the State Department, she blazed her own trail--and gave voice to millions who yearned for respect, regardless of gender, background, or age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHell and Other Destinations reveals this remarkable figure at her bluntest, funniest, most intimate, and most serious.
