This week’s guest is Megan Twohey, whose book about Harvey Weinstein’s sexual abuse of women in Hollywood was also, as she put it, “an X-ray into the abuse of power”. The #metoo movement really got going after New York Times journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor published their investigative articles about Harvey Weinstein.
They followed with their book, “She Said”, which dives deep, not just into Harvey Weinstein’s decades long alleged sexual predation, but also the failures of the system that let it happen. Some have called “She Said” the feminist “All the President’s Men”.
Back in 2019, Megan Twohey gave the John Adams an interview that was almost like a crime procedural. She detailed how you piece together an investigation into someone powerful who was determined to undermine you every step of the way.
It’s a tale of harassment, spies, failures of the legal system and, ultimately, the triumphant power of the truth to actually make change. The Dutch journalist Joyce Roodnat interviewed Megan Twohey in front of a packed audience at the University of Amsterdam.
