by Nora Ephron
First published 2000
Screenwriting legend Nora Ephron turns her keen eye and wicked sense of humor to the tumultuous 1970s, skewering the media, politics, and women's bodies with her signature style. From the "Pillsbury Bake-Off" to the Watergate scandal, Ephron's "Crazy Salad" offers a hilarious, deceptively light view of a pivotal era, where a new generation of women were redefining their place in society. At the heart of it all is Ephron's uncompromising honesty about her own experiences, from her complex relationship with her body to the challenges of navigating a changing world.
