Poweris a terrific newspaper book ... [It] is also an excellent business case history. Michael Stern,San Francisco Chronicle

This is a lively biography about an ugly ducking who grew up to become a swan, or, possibly, given Mrs. Graham's wealth and power, an eagle. The New Yorker

For sheer reading pleasure and a brilliant picture of a complex woman, pick upPower, Privilege, and thePost:The Katherine Graham Story. In my view, it has already won a prize for one of the best biographies of this, or perhaps, any year.Robert Holsinger,Atlanta Journal-Constitution

InPower, Privilege, and thePost, Carol Felsenthal has given us more than a biography of a single woman. This is a book that places its subject within a swirling context of newspaper publishing and American politics and helps us understand the power and privileges of the media in our time.
