She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement by Megan Twohey, Jodi Kantor
4.0
A powerful book indeed! I only heard about it recently (I missed lots of 2019 releases) and I knew I had to read it.
It was eye-opening. Like everyone, I have heard of the Me Too movement and read about what was happening but to read all of this about a single famous person, is also different. How men in the Hollywood industry abused their power and got away with it. For decades. Especially someone like Harvey Weinstein. It was interesting to read about what was going on behind the scenes. It's also empowering because women who suffered from any famous person can stop being silent and speak out without having to be afraid.
The audiobook narration was good enough so I recommend the audiobook if you're considering reading this book.
My only complaint is that the Christine Ford story in the second part and the Kavanaugh accusation and hearing weren't necessary. At least no in such great detail. I would've preferred the book to be centered mostly on Harvey and maybe other cases summarized. Ford's part wasn't that interesting to me.
