For Women’s History Month, we’re bringing you #Women Write the World, daily posts of our female National Book Award Nonfiction Honorees whose expository writing on matters here and abroad set new standards for American literature.
Just a few short years after Clarence Thomas ascended to the U.S. Supreme Court, Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson– then investigative reporters for The Wall Street Journal— published Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas. The 1994 National Book Award Finalist book revealed the machinations involved in silencing Anita Hill, whose allegations of sexual harrassment nearly torpeoded Thomas’s nomination, and brought to light damning new evidence of Thomas’s culpability.
