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--\u003ci\u003eGone with the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eForever Amber\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePeyton Place\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eValley of the Dolls\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eScruples\u003c\/i\u003e. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Madonne M.
