What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

SOLVED:

Hi, folks, I am not sure where to turn on Goodreads for this. I've tried searching the databases in the academic library where I work, but I'm not a reference librarian and it's not my strong suit. I've also tried Google, Internet Archive, ebay.

Rona Jaffe published a novel called "Class Reunion" in 1979. She was a graduate of Radcliffe and had loosely based the novel on her experiences there. One of the women's magazines my mom subscribed to featured an article by Jaffe about some of her classmates and their experiences, published around the time the novel was released. I am pretty sure one of her classmates was the daughter of conductor Leopold Stokowski.

I am 99% sure this article was published in either McCall's or Ladies Home Journal. Mom also got Good Housekeeping. I would love to find this article but I'm not having a lot of luck with it.

Is there a group on this site for magazines? Or is there anyone who might be able to help me?

I appreciate it--thank you so much!

Possibly "The Girls of '47"? It's by Jaffe in Ladies Home Journal Volume 91, p. 80, 1974. It is classified as fiction.

That's possible that that's the article, but I'm not sure. For some reason I thought that it had come out around the same time as "Class Reunion" was published. I'll definitely look into it! Thanks very much!

There must be a complete Jaffe bibliography, somewhere. The question is, where. Not on her website. I think you need a research librarian to help you.

"McCall's, February, 1983, Robert Morley, "Caught in the Nude and Other Mortifying Moments," p. 119" is found in her encyclopedia entry

I emailed a library in Chicago, and called our local library as well. I'm sure I'll get to the bottom of this!

I believe I have found it, via a reference on Google Books. It was in "Ladies Home Journal, June 1980."
At least now I can see if I can find an old issue of the magazine.

I can edit my post to read "SOLVED." Thanks for your help!

Super.
