- Summary:
- "For almost 40 years, Jane Dolinger traveled the world and wrote about her adventures in exotic places, from the Amazon Jungle to the sands of the Sahara. She produced eight books and more than a thousand articles between 1955 and 1995, and she also earned a reputation as a glamorous celebrity and figure model--all while enjoying one of the most exciting, fast-paced lifestyles of her era. Sometimes controversial but always outstanding, Jane was a pioneer among women and writers. Now, for the first time, her life and work are studied in a thoroughly researched, scholarly yet entertaining literary biography"--Provided by publisher.
