Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement

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 twelve 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

Great book.

Thank you for writing this and the investigative work you do. I hope there will be a movie coming!

With the words “fake news” constantly bantered around, it is nice to see how careful you are to get the story right. This highlights the poor job media does giving their opinions without any factual sources or substantiated confirmations,

Good job ladies, the book Isco engaging. I especially appreciated the final excerpt from the women and how they felt after the media blitz.

Since reading the book, I have noticed how easy it is for men to simply deny and that is taken as the end. Hopefully your book will enlighten more people that we need to search for the facts.

Thank you for highlighting both good journalism and the remaining issue of who to believe.

Power and amazing

To really get the know what happened behind the scenes is incredible. To hear how much work is involved with Ms Ford and her testimony, knowing how the Republican men in Congress alongside the conservative media made it all sound like a flippant and sometimes purposeful hit job is infuriating. The whole book is infuriating and sad and hard to listen to but so very worthwhile and necessary.

One of the best books I've read

Moving, devastating, and filled with hope. This is probably one of the most important books to read in our time. It is a story that reaffirms the best of journalism, the wretching courage if ordinary people, and the systemic patterns of abuse of power.

A must read

Best book I have read in a long time. Thank you all for your bravery!

Gripping

This gripping, behind-the-scene expose was hard to put down.
It gives you such an appreciation for what goes on in the background but also the hard work, tenacity and integrity required of the journalists to bring the story to life.
