One of the most well written personal stories I have ever read. I actually read it twice! I have long admired Katherine Graham and the way that she handled the challenges that faced her. The death of her husband and the decision to take over the Post and the growth of the company were all challenges that she faced and she did it, not believing that she was worthy of any of it. She was an amazing woman who lived a one in a million life. I love her and this book. It is a great read.
Wow! Personal History is exceptionally well-written and the voice is authentic. I'm grateful to Katharine Graham for giving us this window into her life. Many of us were a part of the history of the periods she covers and have an attachment to the Washington Post, nurtured by her family for all of those years. She had many advantages in life, but much was expected of her and much was given by her. When the times called for courage, there was Katharine Graham (now being played by Meryl Streep in the new movie *The Post*) being true to her calling as owner and publisher of a great paper, with fidelity to the truth and a commitment to the good of our country. The Washington Post is still a great, inevitably imperfect, source of news and salvation for our democratic republic and we can thank Graham, her family, and the other truth-tellers for that. In Katharine we have a woman who served honorably, with greatness, only when thrust into a leadership role she never coveted. I wish I had known her personally.
I got this book after I saw the movie, “The Post.†The narrative is surprisingly engaging—to be honest I could hardly put it down for the 3 days it took me to read it. What a courageous woman Kay Graham was! She has my utmost respect. I felt like I was going through her life with her. A beautifully organized book. The first few chapters on her parents and her early life were such an excellent introduction to her future life. She was able to grow and adapt to all the change in her life, but you understood the pain and worry she was going through. An unbelievably honest woman who lets you know all about the problems of trying to run a company and help it grow both from a journalistic viewpoint of absolute integrity and a corporate viewpoint of maintaining profitability. One of the best books I have read!
I'm in my 60s, so Katherine Graham was a name I was familiar with. After watching the movie The Post, I interested in learning about her. While I found some of the chapters very dry, it was fascinating to learn of her very upper class and rather odd childhood. How her wealthy family was shunned by other wealthy New York elite due to her father's Jewish heritage. Her complete acquiescence to her husband, her volatile mother and her own admission of not knowing any better than to leave the raising of her children to nannies. It was a look into a world very different from anything I've experienced.
A very candid account of her life, packed with details of a different time to more current day issues. Particularly interesting reflections on the role of women over time, and how this intelligent and capable woman came to find her own strength. Lots of name dropping which annoys petty old me, but really the people in her life are interesting in themselves-- and interesting how all those paths crossed from early days when they weren't well known names. It is the story of the elite, and the great privilege that comes with wealth both inherited and earned, this can be irritating. But also refreshing in that these powerful folks were altruistic and idealistic, and acted on those ideals even at personal cost.
Mrs. Graham led an extraordinary life. She was born into privilege and money and worked as a reporter, in an era in which she was raised to be a wife, mother, and runner of households. She became one of the most powerful women in industry by pursuing the knowledge she needed, as she needed it. Mrs. Graham tells her story primarily through the peak events of her personal and corporate life: the suicide of her husband, the Pentagon Papers, and a major labor strike. A wonderful read.
Katherine Graham's Autobiography is long and exhausting - she unsparingly discusses all aspects of her life. She culls information from diaries, letters she sent and received, memoranda, interviews and articles and then she chronicles her life from the earliest days to her retirement from the Washington Post. "I recognize the inherent danger of being self-serving and have tried to retain as much detachment as possible, but I wanted to tell what happened just as I saw it." :Born into the wealthy Jewish Meyer family, close to her father, educated at boarding school and the University of Chicago, she became an aspiring reporter in San Francisco covering a violent labor dispute. She married Phil Graham, whose "brains, ability, and charm were legendary among his people." Alas he suffered from severe depression and committed suicide just after returning to her after a nasty affair that threatened her beloved Washington Post. We learn about the Grahams' relationship with the Kennedy clan, President Johnson, Nixon, Ford and Reagan. Many episodes (The Pentagon Papers etc) are spell-binding and Katherine often bet the very survival of the company on her beliefs. Often, her actions are difficult to understand - yes, she was deferential to the males (her father, her husband), but it often became a convenient crutch, While Graham's prose is very easy to read, the book is difficult to digest - it took me several tries to finish.
This is a wonderful story of a very interesting life well lived. So glad Katherine was willing to share. The brief sketches of Woodward and Bernstein were quite interesting. Was also impressed by Katherine's approach to management of the Post following her husbands death . I feel her decisions regarding publication of information regarding the Pentagon Papers and the Watergate saga were very important to the continued vitality of the fourth estate. In many respectsKatherine was an example of the modern american woman.
