http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34483421

The Edith Lynn Hornik-Beer (ELH-B) Papers include correspondence, drafts of articles, articles, manuscripts, questionnaires, notebooks, and books by this Swiss-born free-lance author. While the correspondence is predominately professional in nature, there are some personal letters. The correspondence also includes a few letters from ELH-B to Tennessee Williams regarding a proposed article about him. The published and unpublished articles cover a wide range of subjects, including travel, alcoholism, and local activities. Also included are reprints of ELH-B's column "Young world," an advice column for adolescents that she published between 1964 and 1967 in the Scarsdale Inquirer and the Riverdale Press. The manuscripts include both published and unpublished works. Manuscripts for both of ELH-B's published books, You and your alcoholic parent and The Drinking woman, are included, along with research notes and questionnaires used in a survey of female alcoholics. ELH-B is a 1954 graduate of the Simmons College Prince School of Retailing; however, this period of her life is not documented here.
