	Rona Jaffe -- popular novelist
		Rona Jaffe, the preternaturally youthful writer whose 1958 novel "The Best of Everything" told the melodramatic story of four nubile, cashmere-sweatered career girls torn between storybook romance and cutthroat corporate Manhattan, died Friday in London, where she was on vacation.
		Jaffe's four-year employment at Fawcett Publications as well as the experiences of close friends, was the urban answer to "Peyton Place," Grace Metalious' risque novel of lust in small-town America, which had been published two years earlier.
		Jaffe did not, however, ever marry, preferring to avoid what she once dismissively described as "the rat race to the altar." She leaves no survivors.

	NPR : Jaffe's 'Best of Everything' Stands the Test of Time
		Morning Edition, July 27, 2005 ·; When Rona Jaffe's book The Best of Everything arrived on the scene in 1958, society at large saw most women's careers merely as a way to mark time on the way to marriage.

		Considering that Rona Jaffe wrote this novel, it's clear that the target audience was not the young college students who were involved in role-playing games.
		As far as Jaffe's career goes, this book has become a footnote but at the same time, is the book that perhaps stirred the most controversy.
		Jaffe specializes in the sort of mass-market novels that, unfortunately, are thought of as "women's fiction," just as "Cosmopolitan" and similar magazines are thought of as "women's magazines." These categories work if you believe that all American women like to read long, drawn-out novels that are all about relationships and feelings.
