Chasing Hillary: On the Trail of the First Woman President Who Wasn't

The New York Times–bestselling memoir by a journalist covering the female presidential candidate is “The Devil Wears Prada meets The Boys on the Bus” (New York Times).

For a decade, award–winning New York Times journalist Amy Chozick chronicled Hillary Clinton’s pursuit of the presidency. Chozick’s front-row seat, initially covering Clinton’s imploding 2008 campaign, and then her assignment to “The Hillary Beat” ahead of the 2016 election, set off a nearly ten-years-long journey in which her twenties and thirties became—both personally and professionally – intrinsically intertwined to Clinton’s presidential ambitions.

Chozick’s clear-eyed perspective—from her seat on the Hillary bus and reporting from inside the campaign’s headquarters, to her run-ins with Donald J. Trump and her globetrotting with Bill Clinton—provide fresh insights into the story we thought we all knew, with the kind of inside details that repeatedly surprise and enlighten.

But Chasing Hillary is also a refreshingly honest personal story of how the would-be first woman president looms over Chozick’s life. And, as she gets married, attempts to infiltrate the upper echelons of political journalism and inquires about freezing her eggs so she can have children after the 2016 campaign, Chozick dives deeper into decisions Clinton made at similar points in her life.

Trailing Clinton through all of the highs and lows of the most noxious and wildly dramatic presidential election in American history, Chozick comes to understand what drove Clinton, how she accomplished what no woman had before, and why she ultimately failed. Poignant, illuminating, laugh-out-loud funny, Chasing Hillary is a campaign book like never before.
