For many years, reporters had tried to get to the truth about Harvey Weinstein's treatment of women. Rumors of wrongdoing had long circulated. But in 2017, when Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey began their investigation into the prominent Hollywood producer for the New York Times, his name was still synonymous with power. During months of confidential interviews with top actresses, former Weinstein employees, and other sources, many disturbing and long-buried allegations were unearthed, and a web of onerous secret payouts and nondisclosure agreements was revealed. These shadowy settlements had long been used to hide sexual harassment and abuse, but with a breakthrough reporting technique Kantor and Twohey helped to expose it. But Weinstein had evaded scrutiny in the past, and he was not going down without a fight. He employed a team of high-profile lawyers, private investigators, and other allies to thwart the investigation. When Kantor and Twohey were finally able to convince some sources to go on the record, a dramatic final showdown between Weinstein and the New York Times was set in motion. Nothing could have prepared Kantor and Twohey for what followed the publication of their initial Weinstein story on October 5, 2017. Within days, a veritable Pandora's box of sexual harassment and abuse was opened. Women all over the world came forward with their own traumatic stories. Over the next twelve months, hundreds of men from every walk of life and industry were outed following allegations of wrongdoing. But did too much change -- or not enough? Those questions hung in the air months later as Brett Kavanaugh was nominated to the Supreme Court, and Christine Blasey Ford came forward to testify that he had assaulted her decades earlier. Kantor and Twohey, who had unique access to Ford and her team, bring to light the odyssey that led her to come forward, the overwhelming forces that came to bear on her, and what happened after she shared her allegation with the world.… (plus d'informations)

Fascinating. From the investigative work uncovering the vast history of Harvey Weinstein's sexual assaults on women to the powder keg of the ME TOO movement ignited by that work--fascinating. I'm almost sixty (I write the word because I find the number daunting) and fortunately have been quite liberal from a young age. Even so, gender stereotypes that served a male dominant power structure were deeply ingrained in me. Sure more women should be doctors but having a just a few around seemed satisfactory. Someday there will be more. Sure women should be directing major motion pictures--there are a couple. One day there will be more. Etc. And by extension, sexual abuse and harassment are bad but it doesn't happen that often and it will soon go away (and it's only done by strangers). Our culture has long been calcified by these conceits. I knew better. The smartest and most dedicated people I knew were mostly women. I was blessed to be considered a good listener and was stunned to find out how many women I knew had suffered abuse. Once I was married a whole new pipeline of second hand stories entered my life. The extent of such things is heartbreaking. Even knowing all this, I can still feel the box of stereotypes around me. Maybe I had just given up hope that serious change was possible in my lifetime. But the world feels different now. Sure it appears chaotic but that's what happens when you find that crack and push your way up through the ice. There have been advances before but the battles today for racial, gender, and Lgbtqi+ rights feel like they will not stop. I just have to see the fear on the faces of their oppressors to feel this way (fear is most often expressed as hate). So this book fascinates as a You Are There at the dawn of great possibilities.

It’s a sad subject which makes it a hard read but it is essential reading. This book is a powerhouse and I could not put it down. I hope Weinstein rots away in a jail cell for the rest of his miserable life. ( )

Excellent storytelling of complicated times. ( )

On October 5, 2017, the New York Times ran an article detailing how Harvey Weinstein, famed movie producer, sexually harassed females who met him for roles in movies as well as those young females who worked for his company. There had always been rumors of his treatment of those women but no one was ever willing to come forward…until now. The journalists covering the story, Kantor and Twohey, interview women they believe have been victimized by the producer and discover a paper of payments and ultra-restricting NDAs. When the scandal finally made its way to the public, the authors are contacted by someone else…a woman who claimed she had been assaulted by a Supreme Court nominee when they were in high school. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is made to testify before Congress about the intimate details of her life and that night in high school. These cases helped empower the #MeToo movement created by Tarana Burke and people shared their own stories of harassment and assault to show that it happened to everyone.

The story is narrated in part by the authors and another young woman named Rebecca Lowman who did a wonderful job in telling the story of so many women and never taking away from the story. It was amazing to hear these stories finally come to light. If you are interested in reading the original article, please click here. If you have been a victim of sexual assault or harassment, please know there is help. You can reach out to National Sexual Assault Hotline for help reaching those you need. ( )

This is an incredibly important book, giving a behind the scenes peek of the investigative journalism that broke the ongoing Harvey Weinstein abuse scandal and insight into Christine Blasey's testimony at Kavanaugh's hearing. The first two thirds of the book were faster paced and had almost thriller quality, but the abrupt switch from Weinstein's victims to Kavanaugh in chapter eight was abrupt and a little unexpected. To me, this book has been so connected to the former that it lost some steam. I did end up appreciating the additional insight into Blasey's state of mind and intention, which is very different than what I remember of the media portrayal. I won't say I enjoyed the book, but I learned a lot. ( )
