Description
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters who broke the news of Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment and abuse for the New York Times, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, the thrilling untold story of their investigation and its consequences for the #MeToo movement
On October 5, 2017, the New York Times published an article by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey - and then the world changed. For months, Kantor and Twohey had been having confidential discussions with top actresses, former Weinstein employees, and other sources, learning of disturbing long-buried allegations, some of which had been covered up by onerous legal settlements. The journalists meticulously picked their way through a web of decades-old secret payouts and nondisclosure agreements, pressed some of the most famous women in the world - and some unknown ones - to risk going on the record, and faced down Weinstein, his team of high-priced defenders, and even his private investigators.
But nothing could have prepared them for what followed the publication of their Weinstein story. Within days, a veritable Pandora's box of sexual harassment and abuse was opened, and women who had suffered in silence for generations began coming forward, trusting that the world would understand their stories. Over the next 12 months, hundreds of men from every walk of life and industry would be outed for mistreating their colleagues. But did too much change - or not enough? Those questions plunged the two journalists into a new phase of reporting and some of their most startling findings yet.
With superlative detail, insight, and journalistic expertise, Kantor and Twohey take us for the first time into the very heart of this social shift, reliving in real time what it took to get the story and giving an up-close portrait of the forces that hindered and spurred change. They describe the surprising journeys of those who spoke up - for the sake of other women, for future generations, and for themselves - and so changed us all.
Includes a bonus PDF of the notes from the book.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“A binge-read of a book, propelled, for the most part, by a clear, adrenaline-spiking ticktock of how their stories came together, and studded with all manner of new astonishing details.... This is Kantor and Twohey’s story and one everyone should read for a panoply of reasons. By simply recounting their reporting, the two offer a masterful explanation of how a man like Weinstein is allowed to abuse his power and many women for so long in something approaching plain sight.... In many ways, 'She Said' is more significant than 'All the President’s Men,' and not just because journalism is currently under siege, financially and politically, in a way it was not in the 1970s. There was a finite number of people responsible for the crimes of the Nixon administration; the alleged crimes of Harvey Weinstein are also the crimes of our culture, and they continue to be committed every day by many men all around the world. Although now, one hopes, without as much silence, secrecy and cultural complacency.” (Los Angeles Times Review)
“'She Said,' a new book detailing the astonishing behind-the-scenes of the New York Times’s bombshell Harvey Weinstein exposé, is an instant classic of investigative journalism. If your jaw dropped at the newspaper’s original allegations against the predatory movie mogul, prepare for it to hit the floor as authors Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey recount how they uncovered the story: secret meetings, harrowing phone calls, private text exchanges with A-list actresses agonizing over whether to go on the record. Ashley Judd plays the stoic warrior; Gwyneth Paltrow, the circumspect liaison who tries to help the reporters find other sources.” (Monica Hesse, The Washington Post)
“She Said, the journalists’ clear-eyed record of that effort, reads at some moments as a thriller, and at others as an indictment of a system full of rot. But it is ultimately about the women, bonded in their pain, who refused to be silent any longer.” (The Atlantic)

Good until the end
I thought the narration was very good. The details of finding and telling the story of many of Weinstein’s victims was enthralling. But it all fell apart in the last few chapters, where they included the Senate investigation into Christine Blasey Ford’s claim against Judge Kavanaugh. It became blatantly politically partisan. The authors elevating her story above those of Weinsteins victims.
The final epilogue taking place at Gwyneth Paltrow’s house, a weird fluffy Hollywood spin to conflate all these women’s experiences as equal, was frustrating. Now with the recent demise of the Times Up charity being investigated, going into bankruptcy, it leaves a bad taste. In this regard, this should be read in tandem with Ronan Farrow’s book Catch and Kill. He details the enormous machinations behind the story. His book digs deeper into how the legal system is used to silence victims. And how victims were coerced into telling their stories with little regard to their own safety and legal exposure.
I wish the authors of She Said had scrapped the entire Gwyneth Paltrow epilogue with its fawning attention to the GOOP-inspired happy ending.

The REAL news
This book underscores the powerful change that can occur when women come forward. Praise to them for the courage to fight the long journey. This is real journalism. The guts to keep pushing back against all the powerful men with money that believe if they say ‘fake news’ enough times they will get away with everything. Thank you to the authors for the courage and delicacy to expose the grim tactics used by these men and all the while keeping the dignity and respect for the women at the forefront.

Excellent reading
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.Jody and Megan did an excellent job in emoting the struggles faced by many women in the sexual harassment case against Harvey Weinstein. Although I did not agree with a few pieces towards the end, namely what I thought was the bucketing of Republicans in a Somewhat villainous category, I was quite moved with the book overall. Definitely a great read for men in terms of understanding the daily struggles that a woman faces.

Believe women & survivors
I like the focus on the women in this recounting of how two New York Times journalists researched and broke the Weinstein story. I also listened to a Ronan Farrow‘s (unusual) narration of his book Catch & Kill where the focus was on the shady tactics used by Weinstein’s team to kill the story. Both are fascinating and important.
