Talk:Lena Levine

Full disclosure
Full disclosure: this touches just a tad on autobiography, because she was my great-aunt. I had been waiting for someone else to start an article on her, but I finally started one myself. I'm pretty certain that she is of sufficient notability to merit an article, and that the article demonstrates this.

Some other comments, but I have nothing citable on any of this: -- Jmabel | Talk 02:16, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) I suspect, but do not know, that Brody's "ran a consultant bureau for pregnant women" is (at least in part) a euphemism for giving referrals for abortion; abortion was still illegal at the time of her death, so Lee would never have had an opportune time to admit this publicly. But I could easily be wrong.
 * 2) * I now have a citation for this. -- Jmabel | Talk 04:09, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) I believe that Lee's daughter Ellen Ferber is working on a biography. I last saw Ellen almost four years ago, and she is rather allergic to email, but another cousin told me this.
 * 4) Brody's article says she died of a stroke. I do not believe this is true, though it is probably the official story. My father (who died in 2000) informed me a few years after her death that she had been diagnosed with a terminal cancer, and had committed suicide rather than go through the pain. I can't imagine a reason he would have made up such a story if it wasn't true.
 * 5) I believe she left the bulk of her estate to her housekeeper, Pearl, who was practically family (although I believe she also made at least some provision for Ellen, who was in her mid-20s at the time, and beginning an academic career).

Possibly another book
Her Times obit mentions another book, Women Needn't Worry co-written with Beka Doherty, about which I know nothing else (not even date of publication). - Jmabel | Talk 02:57, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
