NonfictionShe Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement
Megan Twohey · 2019
Before Weinstein, Twohey had already spent years investigating sexual misconduct allegations against Donald Trump and other powerful men — reporting that trained her for the specific difficulty of this story: sources bound by non-disclosure agreements, terrified of retaliation, certain that no one would believe them anyway. She Said, co-written with Jodi Kantor, is the record of how that resistance was worn down, one careful conversation at a time.
Twohey’s contribution to this reporting was a particular kind of doggedness — the willingness to make the tenth phone call after nine refusals. The book is honest about how much of investigative journalism is simply endurance, and how often a story’s outcome depends on a reporter’s refusal to accept the first no.
