Maria Poonlertlarp asked an interesting question of Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway during the press tour for The Devil Wears Prada 2.

It really stunned me. So, if it were Andy on stage or Miranda on stage, would they have anything to say to this?” View this post on Instagram A post shared by missuupdates (@missuupdates)What Meryl Streep said
According to Meryl, the most important social movement of her generation was identifying the integration of women into the professional workforce as a transformative shift, which she witnessed throughout her career. “I think for my generation and as a woman, the changing role of women in the last part of the last century, which is my youth, that was profound,” Meryl shared. She even shared an example from Japan to further elaborate her answer, saying, “When I first came to Japan for interviews 35 years ago, all the journalists were men. And now we've gone through so many roundtables, and all the journalists are women and men. But um that integration of women into the working day is uh that's the most profound one for me.”What Anne Hathaway said
Meanwhile, Anne highlighted the legalisation of same-sex marriage as a monumental achievement for human rights within her lifetime. She said, “When I think of an effective social movement that occurred in America in my lifetime, it was marriage equality. That certainly made a huge impact on my life. My older brother is gay, and so it affected my family directly. And when I think about what it means to acknowledge the full humanity, because my whole feeling about it is I think we are all born with rights, and it's for the courts to catch up to our inherent worth and what we have.” She further mentioned, “Just because, legally or technically, those rights are not honoured yet, that doesn't mean we don't have them. And so that was something that gave me a tremendous amount of hope to see the courts catch up to where human beings actually were.” ABOUT THE AUTHOR Krishna Pallavi Priya Krishna Priya Pallavi is a journalist with over 9 years of experience, covering health, fashion, pop culture, travel, wellness, entertainment, festivals, mental health, art, decor, fitness, and sex and relationships.
