I read this autobiography a number of years ago and decided to read it again after I viewed the film, "The Post." I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Katharine Graham vividly describes the political events of the fifties through the seventies as she experienced them. Her description of being a woman in a male-dominated business world is very revealing. If you want to know about the operations of a modern newspaper, this is the book to read. Gay Talese wrote about "The New York Times" in "The Kingdom and the Power." Katharine Graham has done the equivalent in this book. She writes with a journalist's attention to details and events. The book deservedly won a Pulitizer Prize in 1998.
