Becoming Katharine Graham tells the story of a painfully shy woman’s accidental rise to power and how it changed history. After a family tragedy, Kay evolved from a “doormat wife” into a legendary newspaper publisher. As Nixon’s nemesis during Watergate, she fought for truth, broke down barriers in a sexist world, and won a Pulitzer Prize, inspiring generations with her courage and resilience.
