Huma Abedin's memoir, Both/And, is a fascinating and insightful look into the life of a woman who has been at the center of American politics for over two decades. Abedin, who served as Hillary Clinton's deputy chief of staff during her time as Secretary of State, offers a unique perspective on some of the most important events in recent history.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part, "Both," tells the story of Abedin's childhood and early career. She was born in India to a Pakistani father and an Indian mother. Her family moved to the United States when she was two years old. Abedin grew up in a Muslim household, and she attended a madrassa, or Islamic school, as a child. She went on to study at George Washington University, where she majored in journalism.

After graduating from college, Abedin worked as a press aide for Senator Chuck Schumer. In 2001, she joined the staff of Hillary Clinton, then a U.S. senator from New York. Abedin quickly became one of Clinton's most trusted advisors, and she played a key role in Clinton's successful presidential campaign in 2008. When Clinton became Secretary of State, Abedin followed her to the State Department, where she served as her deputy chief of staff.

The second part of the book, "And," tells the story of Abedin's life after she left the State Department. She married former congressman Anthony Weiner in 2010, and they had a son together in 2011. However, Weiner's career was derailed by a series of sexting scandals, and the couple divorced in 2016.

In the wake of her divorce, Abedin has become a vocal advocate for women's rights and gender equality. She has also spoken out against Islamophobia and discrimination. In her memoir, Abedin reflects on her experiences as a Muslim woman in America, and she argues that it is possible to be both Muslim and American.

Both/And is a powerful and moving memoir that offers a unique perspective on American politics, gender, and Islam. Abedin is a gifted writer, and her story is both inspiring and thought-provoking. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the challenges and opportunities facing women in the 21st century.
