My Sister Roseanne is a bittersweet memoir of growing up Jewish in Mormon, Utah, of discovering feminism, lesbianism, and the power of a community in a small Denver bookstore; it is a tale of hilarious collaboration on the development of the "Domestic Goddess" character, of learning how to deliver a feminist message with jokes that made women laugh and men think. It is also a story of paranoia and betrayal, of Roseanne's abandonment of the sister's shared dream for the dubious role of "Mrs. Arnold," a plastic-surgery-enhanced habitue of the talk show circuit who discovered she could say anything - and the media, from the tabloids to the talk shows to Vanity Fair would treat it as gospel truth. 293 pages, 16 pages of photograhs; no marks or tears. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
