From the Paper:

"The "superwoman" must have the "superman" to have a life that is happy and blessed. Pure feminism is that the only way a woman can be happy is through marrying the "right" man. Feminism is seen throughout the movie of "Sleepless in Seattle" by Nora and Delia Ephron. Imagine a young boy making a phone call to a radio talk show to talk about the depression his father is feeling after losing the boy's mother. Feminism is seen in the social relations in this movie such as a superwoman who has a career and wants a superman and the feminist viewpoint that single fathers do not make good parents so Jonah needs a mother. Ephron begins the movie with a young boy, Jonah, who is worried about his father, Sam. Sam and his son recently left Chicago and started a new life in Seattle, after the death of Sam's wife."
