...many of the women in this dictionary are undoubtedly strangers to most people. It is possible that Notable American Women's value as a research aid will be supplanted initially by its value as a first introduction to these overlooked figures. Although the cost, even of the recently-published paperback edition, is prohibitive to the average book-buyer, book stores and librarians afford ample opportunity for opening one of the volumes, to whatever page; the experience is bound to be illuminating. "Notable" in fact is a broadly used term to describe these women. The grande dames of the suffrage...
...women have spent $12.95 for a book telling them how to get rid of a substance some call cellulite* (pronounced cell-u-leet), which supposedly accumulates beneath the skin to form unsightly dimples and bulges. Now thousands more, lured by television commercials, are shelling out $5.95 for a paperback version of the same book. As a result, Cellulite (Bantam Books) is on some newspaper bestseller lists.

...churches across the country: in the past 14 years 300,000 women have taken the eight-week, $15 course. Their primary text is Andelin's 1965 book, Fascinating Womanhood (Pacific Press; $6.95), which has sold more than 400,000 copies, and is about to be issued in paperback.

Sheila Levine is based on a novel (written by Co-Scenarist Gail Parent) that sold fittingly few hard-cover copies. With the benefit of massive promotion, the paperback hit big, so perhaps the film makers thought they had a good thing. To make it better, they cast Jeannie Berlin (the scorned wife in The Heartbreak Kid") as the eponymous heroine. Sheila is fresh out of college, a Jewish princess from Harrisburg, Pa., who gets her heart broken in the big city. She falls hard for a doctor (mother will be pleased) who treats her casually (mother will be irked...
...middle-class Irish parents, "with dashes of French, Dutch and American Indian"-until she left Detroit's Cass Technical High School; Edna Rae as a fashion illustrator's model in Texas; Keri Flynn as a dancer in a Montreal night club; Erica Dean as a model for paperback book covers in New York; and Ellen McRae in Broadway's Fair Game in 1957.
