Fascinating insight into the process behind breaking the Weinstein case from the women who did it. The book also discusses the broader #MeToo movement - its predecessors and its ongoing legacy. At times, the graphic accounts are intense, so this was a purposefully staggered read.

By now everyone knows the story of Harvey Weinstein. They’ve all heard about Christine Blasey Ford testifying to the Senate about the high school sexual assault perpetrated on her by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. This book goes through the process of two NYT reporters who broke the Weinstein story and who followed up on the Ford / Kavanaugh story, the reporters who knew what happened long before the rest of us. 

What I found most important about the memoir of their investigation was what happened after the accusations had been made. Kantor and Twohey explored how the very act of coming forward changed the accusers’ lives, and changed what was happening across the US in response. 

Excelling investigative reporting, this generation’s All the President’s Men.
