Raised never to step out of bounds, educated in one of the Seven Sisters Colleges for a career as a wife and mother, torn between her cousin Mimi who is determined to keep her a nice girl -- the kind that marries a doctor -- and her aunt Rose who has a rebellious past of her own, Fanny struggles to raise her young daughter and forge a new life by sheer will and pluck. When she gets a job as a secretary to the "queen" of radio serials -- never to be referred to as soaps -- she discovers she likes working, and through her friendship with an actress who stars in the series and a man who writes them, comes face to face with the blacklist which is destroying careers and wrecking lives. Ultimately, Fanny must decide between playing it safe or doing what she knows is right. 541 $d 20240411. 650 $a Widows $v Fiction. 650 $a Nineteen fifties $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Women $z United States $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 $a Secretaries $v Fiction. 650 $a Single mothers $x Fiction. 650 4 $a Blacklisting $v entertainers. 650 4 $a Blacklisting $v authors. 651 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20240509010805.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=742DE0240DC911EF973F313347ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
