She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement
The thrilling untold story of the Harvey Weinstein investigation and its consequences for the #MeToo movement.
For years, reporters had tried to get to the truth about Harvey Weinstein’s treatment of women. Rumors of wrongdoing had long circulated, and in 2017, when Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey began their investigation for the New York Times, his name was still synonymous with power. But during months of confidential interviews with actresses, former Weinstein employees, and other sources, many disturbing and long-buried allegations were unearthed, and a web of onerous secret payouts and nondisclosure agreements was revealed.

The Obamas: The Partnership Behind a Historic Presidency
Jodi Kantor takes readers deep inside the White House in an “insightful and evocative” portrait of Barack and Michelle Obama (Chicago Tribune) that will surprise even readers who thought they knew the two icons.
When Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election, he also won a long-running debate with his wife Michelle. Contrary to her fears, politics now seemed like a worthwhile, even noble pursuit. Together they planned a White House life that would be as normal and sane as possible. Then they moved in.
Go deep inside the White House as the Obamas try to grapple with their new roles, change the country, raise children, maintain friendships, and figure out what it means to be the first black President and First Lady. The Obamas is filled with riveting detail and insight into their partnership, emotions and personalities, and written with a keen eye for the ironies of public life.
“The Obamas is among the very best books on this White House. It's a serious, thoughtful book on the modern presidency in general.”
—Ezra Klein
“An intimate, arresting view of a formidable couple and, especially, of a transformative First Lady. . .”
—Stacy Schiff, author of The Witches
“Exhilarating.”
—Susan Faludi, The New York Times
“An instant classic of investigative journalism. . . . All the President’s Men for the Me Too era.”
—Carlos Lozada, The Washington Post
“Energetically reported.... Kantor nails her story.... We political gluttons will lick the spoon clean.”
—David Remnick, The New Yorker
“A meticulous reporter, Ms. Kantor is attuned to the nuance of small gestures, the import of unspoken truths. She knows that every strong marriage, including the one now in the White House, has its complexities and its disappointments. Ms. Kantor also—and this is a key—has a high regard for women, which is why hers is the first book about the Obama presidency to give Michelle Obama her due.”
—Connie Schultz, The New York Times
