Nora Ephron uses her perspective as an aging woman to convey the trials and tribulations of being a woman with humor and fun. She pulls from her own life in an almost autobiographical format.

Nora's experience as a journalist and writer allow her to keenly observe her own life and see where other women can benefit. The topics she chooses are ones any women could relate to, yet remain personal enough one can feel the emotions and truth. She provides just enough facts and experience to keep the reader's interest and make the story believable. She becomes the heroine of the story, overcoming obstacles and offering hope for women everywhere. Nora remains faithful to her style of writing a fan would expect, so she comes off as a friend sharing a story and not someone preaching at the reader to change.
