context_page_description: She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement is a nonfiction book written by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, the two New York Times reporters who wrote the story that ended Harvey Weinstein's career, and which catalyzed the burgeoning #MeToo movement. The book was published on September 10, 2019 by Penguin Press.
context_section_description: The book details the behind-the scenes and publicly known processes the authors employed to investigate and publish stories uncovering sexual harassment and sexual abuse by recent widely known persons described as malefactors. It details new information that helped break the Weinstein story, including sources, documents, and chasing leads. The book follows the reporters "from the first exploratory phone calls, to a mounting trail of evidence, to a final face off with a [well known] belligerent" accused person. It also deals with the open questions about which behaviors and gray areas should constitute sexual harassment: 
   Kantor admitted that there is “a mounting sense of unfairness on both sides” about a system that no one thinks “works for the accuser, or the accused." Their job remains, as Kantor put it, to ask the three main questions surrounding any allegation: “What is the scope of the behaviors under scrutiny?;” “How do we get the facts right?;” and “What should punishment and accountability look like?”
  The authors continue to investigate societal answers to these questions. To help persuade sources to talk to them, the sources were told, what happened in the past cannot be changed but "together we may be able to use your experience to help protect other people."
