Summary:

"This book is about the presidency and the woman who - whoever she is! - will eventually hold the title Madame President and occupy the Oval Office. It's about the road that female candidates have traveled with the goal of getting there. It's a story about me - a woman who got to see, up close, more of them strive for the Oval Office at one time than ever before and who innately understood the invisible forces that, oftentimes, worked against them. It's that experience of covering all the women leaving the race that spurred conversations about, well, the need for a book like this one." -- Publisher's description.
