Personal History is the autobiography of Katharine Graham. It was published in 1997 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography in 1998. The book received widespread critical acclaim for its candour in dealing with her husband's mental illness, and the challenges she faced in a male-dominated working environment.

Themes

The main themes of the book include:
  • Graham's complex and often difficult relationship with her mother;
  • her family's involvement with The Washington Post from 1933 onwards;
  • her relationship with her husband Philip Graham;
  • Graham and Phil's relationships with John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, especially Johnson's appointment as Kennedy's running-mate;
  • Phil's mental illness and eventual suicide;
  • Graham's evolution from a housewife to the chairman of a major publishing company;
  • her growing awareness of feminist issues;
  • the legal battle over the Pentagon Papers;
  • The Post's coverage of Watergate; and
  • her relationship to the labor movement, first as an activist, then as a reporter, then with the strikes at the Post, most notably the 1975 - 1976 pressmen's strike.
