I 1953 vinder den 19-årige Esther Greenwood en måneds praktikophold i New York på et modemagasin. Som del af en gruppe talentfulde unge kvinder bliver hun indlogeret på hotel og inviteret ind i New Yorks fashionable verden med modeshows og fester.
Esther vil gerne være digter og er en klartskuende og ret så nådesløs iagttager af det liv, der omgiver hende, men selv er hun mere og mere apatisk. Hjemkomsten til Boston, hvor Esther bor med sin mor, bliver et chok. Hun får afslag på det skrivekursus, hun har ansøgt om, og sommeren ligger skræmmende tom foran hende. Efter et mislykket selvmordsforsøg bliver hun indlagt på psykiatrisk hospital. En glasklokke har sænket sig over hende.
Glasklokken er både en satirisk skildring af det rum, 1950’ernes Amerika kunne tilbyde unge kvinder, og en insiderberetning om depression, skrevet med indlevelse og poetisk kraft. Glasklokken udkom første gang i 1963, og blot en måned efter udgivelsen begik forfatteren selvmord.
