Why people recommend it

She Said by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey is a work of investigative journalism detailing how the New York Times reporters broke the monumental Harvey Weinstein story and uncovered the systemic reluctance of women to come forward with their experiences. On the podcast People I (Mostly) Admire, Suzanne Gluck discussed the publication during her appearance titled Suzanne Gluck: “I’m a Person Who Can Convince Other People to Do Things”. During the episode, the speaker strongly advocated for the title, expressing the view that anyone who has daughters should specifically require them to read the work. She characterized the publication as being equivalent to the Watergate scandal for girls, underscoring its historical significance and the profound impact of the reporting surrounding the allegations. The conversation highlighted the courage required by the journalists and the sources to bring such deeply hidden misconduct into the public eye, cementing the book as an essential resource for understanding modern investigative reporting and the pursuit of corporate and institutional accountability in contemporary society.
