"An intimate, powerful personal story. Jill Wine-Banks is not afraid to share and tell all her experiences and opinions. And I promise you she does." --Bob Woodward "A lively and engrossing account by a top Watergate prosecutor--a woman--of a critical moment in the country's history. It is a timely reminder of how an able and dedicated lawyer and her colleagues held a president and his minions accountable to the rule of law--and why it was vital to do so. It is also an important story of how a young woman confronted a 'man's world,' and dealt with her own vulnerabilities and personal crises at the same time." --Elizabeth Holtzman, former member of the House Judiciary Committee "Such a wonderful book! Jill Wine-Banks makes the Watergate scandal seem as current as today. She has written a fascinating, intimate account of her role as a young assistant special prosecutor--and also her #MeToo experiences in a series of groundbreaking jobs." --Susan Page, Washington bureau chief, USA Today , and author of The Matriarch: Barbara Bush and the Making of an American Dynasty "Come with Jill Wine-Banks back to a time when women were 'girls,' accomplished professionals were mistaken for prostitutes, and a determined figure that one headline identified as 'The Leggiest Watergate Lawyer' rose above it all do something heroic: bring down a criminal president. A riveting and wonderfully crafted memoir for our time." --Rick Perlstein, author of Nixonland and The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan, "A timely reminder of a notorious scandal that resulted in a president's impeachment. . . . An absorbing debut memoir . . . [and] a penetrating, firsthand view of history." -- Kirkus Reviews "An intimate, powerful personal story. Jill Wine-Banks is not afraid to share and tell all her experiences and opinions. And I promise you she does." -- Bob Woodward "A lively and engrossing account and a timely reminder of how an able and dedicated lawyer and her colleagues held a president and his minions accountable--and why it was vital to do so.

A riveting and wonderfully crafted memoir for our time." -- Rick Perlstein , author of Nixonland and The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan "What Jill Wine-Banks did in the early 1970s is the stuff of legend: She got the goods on a corrupt president and used the power of the law to call him and his henchmen to account. The Watergate Girl tells an inspiring story for our troubled times--bravely, wittily, and wisely, with piercing insight and bracing literary verve." -- John Heilemann , host of Showtime's The Circus , editor in chief of The Recount , and coauthor of Game Change, "Riding the crest of the #MeToo movement, Wine-Banks describes the mostly workaday sexism she encountered on the job. . . . The book's fast-moving narrative and crisp prose should hook readers." -- Boston Globe "Wine-Banks not only brings to life the urgency of the Watergate years in vivid detail and color (including the clothes) . . . she reminds the reader of the obstacles that women of her era had to overcome to make progress for themselves and for the next generation." -- Liesl Schillinger , Air Mail "An intimate, powerful personal story.

Synopsis
Obstruction of justice, the specter of impeachment, sexism at work, shocking revelations: Jill Wine-Banks takes us inside her trial by fire as a Watergate prosecutor. It was a time, much like today, when Americans feared for the future of their democracy, and women stood up for equal treatment. At the crossroads of the Watergate scandal and the women's movement was a young lawyer named Jill Wine Volner (as she was then known), barely thirty years old and the only woman on the team that prosecuted the highest-ranking White House officials. Called "the mini-skirted lawyer" by the press, she fought to receive the respect accorded her male counterparts--and prevailed. In The Watergate Girl , Jill Wine-Banks opens a window on this troubled time in American history. It is impossible to read about the crimes of Richard Nixon and the people around him without drawing parallels to today's headlines. The book is also the story of a young woman who sought to make her professional mark while trapped in a failing marriage, buffeted by sexist preconceptions, and harboring secrets of her own. Her house was burgled, her phones were tapped, and even her office garbage was rifled through. At once a cautionary tale and an inspiration for those who believe in the power of justice and the rule of law, The Watergate Girl is a revelation about our country, our politics, and who we are as a society.
