1972年年底的一天，十个孩子的母亲琼•麦康维尔被一伙蒙面人从贝尔法斯特的家中绑走，她的孩子们从此再也没见到她。这是北爱尔兰冲突中最为臭名昭著的一桩案件。
2003年，在《北爱尔兰和平协议》签订五年后，人们在海滩上发现了一具人类骨骼。当麦康维尔的孩子们被告知骸骨的衣服上有一个蓝色的别针时，他们知道这就是他们的母亲。
.
究竟是谁杀害了琼•麦康维尔？
.
试图追寻真相的人们像是撞到了一堵无声的、坚实的墙壁：谁都不愿提起这件事。
“无论你说什么，什么也别说。”诺奖得主、爱尔兰诗人谢默斯•希尼这样说道。

北爱尔兰冲突中的暴力、猜忌、复仇和沉默不仅折磨着被害者麦康维尔的孩子们，也折磨着共和军的成员们。
暴力、猜忌、复仇和沉默，这一切都是为了什么？

本书是对一桩北爱尔兰骇人听闻的绑架谋杀案的真相追踪，并以这桩谋杀案为切入点，剖析20世纪六七十年代至今的北爱尔兰冲突及其和平进程。本书是基于大量研究、采访、文献数据写作而成的扎实可信的非虚构作品。

“过去50年来，在世界范围内遭到杀害的女孩，比整个20世纪死于所有战争的男性还要多。仅仅因为她们的性别。”
在普利策新闻奖得主尼可拉斯·D.克里斯多夫和雪莉·邓恩夫妇这对有丰富联合报道经验的记者伉俪的带领下，我们在本书中去亚非拉国家做了一次长途冒险旅行。在那里，我们看到性别歧视、性暴力、厌女价值观、家庭暴力、处女情结等现象，让女性犹如仍置身在18、19世纪的炼狱。我们也看到那里的女性进行了艰苦卓绝的抗争，以及如何一点小小的帮助就能改变她们的命运。
通过这些故事，作者向我们展示了女性的生存困境，整个世界对此困境的态度，以及女性身上自我觉醒的力量。她们将绝望化为希望，勇敢争取生命尊严。
本书以人物故事为线索，佐以大量的数据，没有局限于对女性遭遇的报道，还展示了社会、经济、文化、心理等多维度的思考。同时，本书也为那些想为世界尽一份力的人们提供了切实可行的参考。

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters who broke the news of Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment and abuse for the New York Times, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, the thrilling untold story of their investigation and its consequences for the #MeToo movement
For many years, reporters had tried to get to the truth about Harvey Weinstein's treatment of women. Rumors of wrongdoing had long circulated. But in 2017, when Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey began their investigation into the prominent Hollywood producer for the New York Times, his name was still synonymous with power. During months of confidential interviews with top 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. These shadowy settlements had long been used to hide sexual harassment and abuse, but with a breakthrough reporting technique Kantor and Twohey helped to expose it. But Weinstein had evaded scrutiny in the past, and he was not going down without a fight; he employed a team of high-profile lawyers, private investigators, and other allies to thwart the investigation. When Kantor and Twohey were finally able to convince some sources to go on the record, a dramatic final showdown between Weinstein and the New York Times was set in motion.
Nothing could have prepared Kantor and Twohey for what followed the publication of their initial Weinstein story on October 5, 2017. Within days, a veritable Pandora's box of sexual harassment and abuse was opened. Women all over the world came forward with their own traumatic stories. Over the next twelve months, hundreds of men from every walk of life and industry were outed following allegations of wrongdoing. But did too much change--or not enough? Those questions hung in the air months later as Brett Kavanaugh was nominated to the Supreme Court, and Christine Blasey Ford came forward to testify that he had assaulted her decades earlier. Kantor and Twohey, who had unique access to Ford and her team, bring to light the odyssey that led her to come forward, the overwhelming forces that came to bear on her, and what happened after she shared her allegation with the world.
In the tradition of great investigative journalism, She Said tells a thrilling story about the power of truth, with shocking new information from hidden sources. Kantor and Twohey describe not only the consequences of their reporting for the #MeToo movement, but the inspiring and affecting journeys of the women who spoke up--for the sake of other women, for future generations, and for themselves.
