Hillary Rodham Clinton is the first woman in US history to become the presidential nominee of a major political party. She served as the 67th Secretary of State after nearly four decades in public service advocating on behalf of children and families as an attorney, First Lady, and US Senator. She is a wife, mother, grandmother, and author of seven previous books, all published by Simon & Schuster.
“What Happened is not one book, but many. It is a candid and
blackly funny account of her mood in the direct aftermath of losing
to Donald J. Trump. It is a post-mortem, in which she is both
coroner and corpse. It is a feminist manifesto. It is a
score-settling jubilee…. It is worth reading.”
—The New York Times
“What Happened is a raw and bracing book, a guide to our political
arena.”
—The Washington Post
“The writing in What Happened is engaging — Clinton is charming and
even funny at times, without trying to paint herself in too
flattering of a light…. Ultimately, the book might be a historical
artifact most of all — the chronicling of what, exactly, it was
like to run for president as the first woman major-party candidate
(and, yes, a Clinton as well). Plenty may disagree with Clinton’s
opinions on what went wrong for her, but her story will still be an
important part of that history when America looks back on the melee
that was the 2016 election.”
—NPR
“An engaging, beautifully synthesized page-turner.”
—Slate
“Here is Clinton at her most emotionally raw.... While What
Happened records the perspective of a pioneer who beat an
unprecedented path that stopped just shy of the White House, it
also covers territory that many women will recognize.... She
demonstrates that she can mine her situation for
humor.”
—People
“What Happened is not a standard work of this genre. It’s
interesting; it’s worth reading; and it sets out questions that the
press, in particular, has not done enough to face.”
—The Atlantic
“Engaging... witty, and useful.”
—The New York Review of Books
“A disturbing autopsy on the state of America today. What Happened
is an urgent plea directed not only to those concerned about
America’s capacity to survive, but also to all who are anxious
about protecting America’s international contributions to human
health.”
—The Lancet
“This is an important book, and anyone who’s worried by what
happened last November 8 should pick it up.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Contains... insights into Ms. Clinton’s personality, character,
and values, and the challenges confronting women in politics.”
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“The most useful way to read What Happened is as one last instance
of Clinton doing what she calls her civic duty.”
—Los Angeles Times
