Terry Boothman, the editor of the Writer Online,
had this to say about it in the January 14, 2003, issue that
carried the story:
Everyone's
life is interesting, right? Sure. So, everyone should write
a memoir, right? Yeah, why not.. And everyone should publish
a memoir, right? Good Lord, no. Because not everyone knows
how to write a publishable memoir, which means a memoir
that lots of other people will enjoy reading. Sonia Pressman
Fuentes, one of the founders of the National Organization
for Women, published just such a memoir--"Eat First--You
Don't Know What They'll Give You, The Adventures of an Immigrant
Family and Their Feminist Daughter." Now, in How I
Got My Mink Stole, excerpted from that memoir, you can get
a glimpse of exactly how good memoirs are written.

Maniac -- the story of the Second Wave of the women's
movement and Fuentes' role in it.
- Harry
Golden and "the Coat" -- Sonia Fuentes sues
Harry Golden, published in Jewish Currents, June 16,

- Eating
Out -- published in the April 11, 2001, issue of Writer's

Leichter's website.
