Personal History: A Memoir

Personal History: A Memoir
- Personal History By Graham Katharine
TheÂ captivating, inside story of the woman who helmed the Washington Post during one of the most turbulent periods in the history of American media.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Biography

In this bestselling and widely acclaimed memoir, Katharine Graham, the woman who piloted the Washington Post through the scandals of the Pentagon Papers and Watergate, tells her storyâ€”one that is extraordinary both for the events it encompasses and for the courage, candor, and dignity of its telling.
Â
Here is the awkward child who grew up amid material wealth and emotional isolation; the young bride who watched her brilliant, charismatic husbandâ€”a confidant to John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnsonâ€”plunge into the mental illness that would culminate in his suicide. And here is the widow who shook off her grief and insecurity to take on a president and a pressmanâ€™s union as she entered the profane boysâ€™ club of the newspaper business.
Â
As timely now as ever, Personal History is an exemplary record of our history and of the woman who played such a shaping role within them, discovering her own strength and sense of self as she confrontedâ€”and masteredâ€”the personal and professional crises of her fascinating life.
