THE WOMEN OF ROTHSCHILD: The Untold Story of the World’s Most Famous Dynasty by Natalie Livingstone

“Sullivan surveys the travails and triumphs of being a woman in the industry, detailing the difficulties of being an editor for one of the nation’s most read papers—including ‘physical proximity to the journalists whose work I was criticizing’—and her challenging transition into the role of Style writer at the Washington Post, where she regularly faces misogynistic vitriol online.”–Publishers Weekly
