Memoir & BiographyPolitics & PowerSociety & Culture

Who does Clinton blame for losing in 2016? Partly herself, including her remarks about coal miners and the basket of deplorables line, and partly James Comey's actions, Russian interference, uneven media coverage and sexism. You also get the campaign from inside, from strategy and debate preparation to daily life on the trail and how she coped after the defeat.

Core ideas
  • Sexism, up close: Sexism in politics is a recurring subject, tied to how her own feminism has evolved.
  • The email server: She takes on the controversy over her use of a private email server as Secretary of State.
  • Beyond the post-mortem: Family, her marriage and policy on healthcare, immigration and other Democratic priorities run alongside the story of the loss.
