She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement

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.

Great review, Nicole. And as pat mentioned, little changes. We seem to go in cycles where things like this spring up, people go crazy, people go to jail and then all is forgotten until the next cycle. I’m glad you enjoyed the book and you certainly wrote an excellent review. ❤️❤️❤️

I agree with you completely about the inclusion of the Christine Blasey Ford part. It felt tacked onto the book when the Weinstein story was strong enough by itself! Excellent review, Nicole.
Terrific review, Nicole! This sounds like such a powerful and timely read, and I'm glad you got much out of it!
