Two classic series of Nora Ephron’s uproarious essays-tackling from feminism to the media, from politics to beauty products, with her inimitable attraction and distinctive wit-now obtainable in one audiobook.

This edition brings together a few of Ephron’s most well-known writing on the generation of women (and men) who helped shape just how we live now, and on events ranging from the Watergate scandal towards the Pillsbury Bake-Off. In these sharpened, hilariously amusing, and vividly noticed pieces, Ephron illuminates an era with wicked honesty and insight. In the famous “A Few Words About Chest” to important parts on her period working for the brand new York Post and Premium Publication, these essays display Ephron at her absolute best.
