In 2015, Bill said that getting Hillary to settle down was not easy. He tells Time that he had to proposed to her three times before she actually said yes.

His persistence eventually paid off. In response to Hillary's message, he shares a throwback picture and writes:

"And after forty four years I'm still looking up to you, as happy today as I was then."

Speaking to Lena Dunham about why she took so long to accept Bill's proposal, Hillary explains:

"I was terrified about losing my identity and getting lost in the kind of wake of Bill's force-of-nature personality. I actually turned him down twice when he asked me to marry him."

"And that was a large part of the ambivalence and the worry that I wouldn't necessarily know who I was or what I could do if I got married to someone who was going to chart a path that he was incredibly clear about, she reveals."

The couple have had to deal with all the highs and low of their relationship in the public eye. Speaking about the challenges in her marriage with Good Morning America, Hilary says:

"I think the gutsiest thing I've ever done, well, personally, [is] make the decision to stay in my marriage."

The book chronicles stories of some of histories influential and unsung female trail blazers, such as Harriet Tubman, Betty Ford and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
