Makaiah answers “Has anyone read both She Said by Kantor...”

Reader asked this question about She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement:

Has anyone read both She Said by Kantor and Twohey and Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow? Do you think they are mutually exclusive (that is, if you’ve read one you needn’t necessarily read the other)? Or do they cover sufficiently different ground so as to make reading both worthwhile?

It focused on the axis of power and I think made a very compelling case for why the systems of NDA's and surveillance keep predators in power. I came to She Said later and was similarly worried that the content would repeat. But apart from a slight overlap on NDA's, I found the writing, characters, and message entirely different. She Said focused on how women are trapped within that axis of power and how they may escape it. Both are fantastic reads and complement each other well!(less)
