 The remarkable untold story of a network of amateur researchers who debunked the Warren Report, raising questions about JFK's assassination that remain unanswered to this day—a riveting history of obsession, heartbreak, and the myth of the great American century from an Atlantic staff writer

"So interesting and so well told."—Liza Mundy, New York Times-bestselling author of Code Girls and The Sisterhood

In the winter of 1967, the official story of the Kennedy assassination was under threat. A scattered group of Americans had pointed to major problems with the report prepared by President Johnson’s hand-picked Warren Commission. Most surprising to some, “the typical ‘sleuth’ was more the concerned housewife than the big city hustler.” The women questioning the report, as one journalist observed, outnumbered the men two-to-one. Politicians and reporters referred to these women as “scavengers,” suggesting they were bored or eccentric women with murder-mystery fixations or crushes on the deceased President Kennedy.

In The Housewives Underground, Kaitlyn Tiffany resurrects the story of Maggie Field, Shirley Martin, and Sylvia Meagher after decades of dismissal. Shirley Martin traveled frequently to Dallas, enlisted her children to help interview key witnesses, and irritated J. Edgar Hoover with her "antagonistic" attitude toward the FBI. Maggie Field hosted a screening of a bootleg copy of the Zapruder film and fundraised for a new investigation. And at the center of the story is Sylvia Meagher—a born-and-raised New Yorker who lived in the Village and worked at the United Nations, was devoted to the ballet and the Mets, cultivated fierce friendships and firm grudges, and dedicated twenty-five years to her conviction that the whole truth of JFK’s assassination had not been told.

Meticulously researched and engrossing, The Housewives Underground takes readers through the turbulent 1960s and 1970s—a time when more Americans began questioning what the government was telling them—revealing the incredible lives of Sylvia and her fellow so-called “Housewives” and bringing to light the crucial, overlooked role they played in asking the first, hardest questions about one of the most shocking events in American history. メディア研究 南北アメリカ大陸 女性 社会科学 米国

批評家のレビュー

“Kaitlyn Tiffany masterfully unspools a hidden history of the Kennedy assassination and its aftermath, in what amounts to a cautionary tale for our time. This meticulous, nuanced portrait traces the full arc and outsize personalities of a controversy that has deepened over decades, showing how these women—like the country—moved away from an easy trust in what government tells us and how their effort to challenge that narrative consumed and altered their lives. So interesting and so well told.”—Liza Mundy, New York Times bestselling author of Code Girls and The Sisterhood
