At a time when women were destined to become housewives, Jacqueline Susann let us dream.

Eventually, they climb their way to the top of the entertainment industry only to find that there's no place left to go but down, into the Valley of the Dolls.

In the world of publishing, Jacqueline Susann is a legend. Valley of the Dolls, her debut novel, was published in 1966 and has sold over 31 million copies in thirty languages. Susann was the first author to have three books on the New York Times bestseller list in a row. She was married to Irving Mansfield, a producer, until her untimely death on September 21, 1974, following a valiant struggle with breast cancer. Susann's twelve-year battle with the disease was kept a well guarded secret until after her death. She was fifty-six years old.
