Non-Fiction Memoir
“In the past, for reasons I try to explain, I’ve often felt
I had to be careful in public, like I was up on a wire
without a net. Now I’m letting my guard down.” —Hillary
Rodham Clinton, from the introduction of What Happened For the first time, Hillary Rodham Clinton reveals what she
was thinking and feeling during one of the most
controversial and unpredictable presidential elections in
history. Now free from the constraints of running, Hillary
takes you inside the intense personal experience of becoming
the first woman nominated for president by a major party in
an election marked by rage, sexism, exhilarating highs and
infuriating lows, stranger-than-fiction twists, Russian
interference, and an opponent who broke all the rules. This
is her most personal memoir yet. In these pages, she describes what it was like to run
against Donald Trump, the mistakes she made, how she has
coped with a shocking and devastating loss, and how she
found the strength to pick herself back up afterward. With
humor and candor, she tells readers what it took to get back
on her feet—the rituals, relationships, and reading that got
her through, and what the experience has taught her about
life. She speaks about the challenges of being a strong
woman in the public eye, the criticism over her voice, age,
and appearance, and the double standard confronting women in
politics. She lays out how the 2016 election was marked by an
unprecedented assault on our democracy by a foreign
adversary. By analyzing the evidence and connecting the
dots, Hillary shows just how dangerous the forces are that
shaped the outcome, and why Americans need to understand
them to protect our values and our democracy in the future. The election of 2016 was unprecedented and historic. What
Happened is the story of that campaign and its
aftermath—both a deeply intimate account and a cautionary
tale for the nation.
