The Investigation That Shattered Hollywood's Silence
The New York Times' 2017 expose of Harvey Weinstein's decades of sexual misconduct wasn't just another celebrity scandal-it was the match that lit a global movement. Within days, millions of women worldwide began sharing their experiences under #MeToo, creating an unprecedented moment of solidarity. What made this particular investigation powerful enough to break through decades of silence? Perhaps it was the meticulous reporting that revealed not just individual acts but an entire system designed to protect powerful men. Or maybe the time had finally come when women's voices could be heard.
