The women's bestseller has become the acknowledged literary
phenomenon of the last half-century. Madonne M. Miner takes the
first critical look at this development and offers a serious
reading of five of the most famous twentieth-century women's
bestsellers--Gone with the Wind, Forever Amber, Peyton Place,
Valley of the Dolls, and Scruples. She outlines repeated plot
structures, image patterns, and thematic concerns. From these Miner
constructs a twentieth-century white middle-class American woman's
story, suggests ways in which female readers respond to women's
bestsellers, and proposes a matrilineal linkage between the novels.
