In 2017, the New York Times published an article about producer Harvey Weinstein that highlighted the systematic payment of money to victims of his sexual harassment. The article had a bombshell effect - dozens of Hollywood actresses and other female employees of the Miramax film studio began speaking openly about the harassment cases. The investigation launched the #MeToo movement: America, and the world after it, realized that harassment is a global problem that permeates all areas of society, and Weinstein, who yesterday was the most powerful man in Hollywood, was sentenced to 23 years in prison.
Journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Toohey, who wrote the sensational article, tell how their investigation went. How the harassment cases that ended many women's careers were uncovered; how hard it was to get Hollywood actresses to share their stories; and how Weinstein sabotaged their work by hiring lawyers and spies. Almost detective-like, this book instantly became a model of impeccable investigative journalism and changed the course of modern history.
