Hello book lovers! In celebration of Women’s History Month, I would like to present to you, journalist, writer, and filmmaker, Nora Ephron. After participating in a class action suit against Newsweek for sexual discrimination (the magazine told her they didn’t hire women writers), she went on to enjoy a prolific career in journalism and screenwriting. She is best known for writing and directing romantic comedy films for which she received various accolades and awards (a British Academy Film Award, nominations for three Academy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, a Tony Award, and three Writers Guild of America Awards).
Some of her notable works include Silkwood (1983), Heartburn (1986), When Harry Met Sally (1989), Sleepless in Seattle (1993), You’ve Got Mail (1998), Bewitched (2005), and Julia & Julia (2009). She also produced and co-authored plays: Imaginary Friends (2002) and Love, Loss, and What I Wore (2008). In 2013, Ephron received a posthumous Tony Award nomination for Best Play for Lucky Guy. She was definitely a trailblazer (1941 – 2012). Check out her quote about writing parts for women. #womenshistorymonth #journalist #writer #filmmaker #screenwriter #producer #director #romanticcomedyfilms #playwright #awardwinner #NoraEphron #vocalexpressions
