Hillary Clinton's highly anticipated campaign memoir just got a title and cover

Hillary Clinton’s highly anticipated campaign memoir officially has a title and cover. Her eighth book will be called What Happened and will reportedly focus on Clinton’s personal experience during and after the 2016 election.

According to a press release from publisher Simon & Schuster, the memoir is expected to be released in September 2017. In it, the former secretary of state, first lady, and Democratic presidential candidate will explore mistakes she made on the campaign trail and her “devastating” and unexpected loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential race. The publisher writes that it is Clinton’s most personal memoir yet.

In an excerpt from the intro, Clinton writes: “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.”

The press release states that Clinton will discuss “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.”

The memoir will reportedly take readers “inside the intense personal experience of becoming the first woman nominated for president by a major party” in an election ultimately “marked by rage, sexism, exhilarating highs and infuriating lows, stranger-than-fiction twists, Russian interference, and an opponent who broke all the rules.”

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
