I 1971 er Hillary Rodham fra Chicago en ung kvinde med en lovende fremtid: Life Magazine dækker hendes afgangstale fra det prestigiøse Wellesley College, hun starter på Yale og er frontkvinde i bevægelsen for kvinders rettigheder. Og så møder hun Bill Clinton. En smuk og karismatisk fyr fra Sydstaterne, der som hun studerer jura. Bill lægger allerede planer for sin politiske karriere. De bliver kærester, og oplever en dyb samhørighed både intellektuelt, fysisk og følelsesmæssigt. Men da Bill frier til hende, siger Hillary kategorisk nej. Hvad ville der være sket for dem begge, for USA og for verden, hvis Hillary Rodham virkelig havde afvist Bill Clinton?Rodham er en fiktiv og forrygende fortælling om en kvinde, vi alle synes vi kender. Med et skarpt og varmt blik udforsker Curtis Sittenfeld ensomheden, jernviljen og de smertelige kompromisser i Hillarys jagt på den politiske magt i en verden styret af mænd.
