No full text for Ian Under a bright San Francisco starI earned my MA in Creative Writing at San Francisco State in 1968. I had the good fortune to have Kay Boyle standing in my proverbial corner.

Meryl Streep as Kay Meyer Graham in Steven Spielberg’s "The Post": masculinity issues
No full textThe Post is the second collaboration between Meryl Streep and Steven Spielberg after A.I. Artificial
Intelligence. The director is famous for having made a vast collection of films about the different
ways men feel and behave under different situations. The Post is, among other things, a story of a
woman, Katharine Meyer Graham, in a world of men. Graham, also known as Kay, was the
publisher of The Washington Post between 1963 and 1991. Historically, she was the first woman in
the United States of America who led a newspaper as important as The Post.
The research question of this paper is: “to what extent can Meryl Streep’s character also be regarded
as one of those ‘Spielberg men’, in spite of being a woman?”
In order to answer this question I follow an analytic-synthetic method. The first step is the analysis
of Meryl Streep’s ‘masculinity’ in those moments of the film where Pat Kirkham’s and Janet
Thumin's so-called sites can more clearly be traced. They provide four sites as the main components
of the representation of masculinities in film in the introduction to their book You Tarzan:
Masculinity, Movies and Men. The introduction works also as a cohesive conclusion of the fourteen
chapters written by male authors on the topic, drawing from fields as varied as Genre Studies,
Reception Theory, and Stardom Studies. Those four sites are the body, action, the external world,
and the internal world. The analysis of each site leads to a partial conclusion, and the four of them
are synthetised and combined in the final conclusion.
The conclusion is that the combination of the four sites shows that Katherine Graham can be
regarded as one of Steven Spielberg’s men. In spite of Meryl Streep’s fame and worldwide
recognition, it has not been easy for her to get roles in films where the leading actress is also the
main character of the film. In The Post her name, or rather her surname is printed just above Tom
Hanks’s surname on the film poster. Their names occupy the top position of the stairs which take up
most of the poster. Their bodies, with their back to the camera, are the first thing anyone can see of
the film even before actually seeing it, just by looking at the poster. There her body is also on a
higher position than Hanks’s. A great part of the film is devoted to attempting to keep Streep’s
character on that top position. The main action she carries out in the film is to talk: how she does so
and who she addresses define her character. The external world is mainly focused on her
relationship with two institutions: the press and the government. Her internal world pivots around
her being true to herself

Yamashita mentions the Student Relocation Council and activities of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, a scheduled visit from Caleb Foote, and the arrival of a new teacher at the camp high school, F.O.R. member Mary McMillan. Yamashita asks if Joe [Joseph R. Goodman] would be willing to come teach at the high school. Kay also writes of lack of adequate heating in the cold weather, and of censorship of the camp newsletter: "If you get a hold of one of our Topaz Times, now a daily news sheet, don't believe all - it's highly censored - about as much as our Tanforan newspaper was - they're afraid to let anything unpleasant or detrimental to the administration out." Yamashita also mention lack of available or willing workers for farm labor in the camp.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
