"Nora Ephron's first job in New York was as a Newsweek ""mail girl"" in 1962. In her interview, she was asked why she wanted the position.  — ""I want to be a writer,"" she told the woman. — ""Women don't write at Newsweek,"" she was told.  ""That was what it meant to be a girl then,"" Ephron later told me.
