Ellen Peck
Ellen Peck (1942– 1995) was an American feminist, writer, and childfree activist. ==Early life and career as a "Teen Expert"==
Born Ellen Remsburg to C. M. and Genevieve Remsburg of Normal, Illinois, Peck attended University High School there and graduated in 1960. A high achiever, she took leading roles in her school's political, acting and debate arenas. After finishing college, Peck became an eighth-grade English teacher at Pimlico Junior High School in Baltimore, Maryland, where she was briefly known for wearing skirts so short they would not have been allowed on students.〔(Facebook ), ''Pimlico Junior High School (1950s – 1970s)''.

At the time the book was taken seriously, but later Ms. Peck claimed it was written merely as "humor" and it is usually missing from subsequent lists of her books. The book was quite popular, selling more than 50,000 copies in hard-cover,〔(Awful Library Books ), ''Advice for Mrs. Robinson''.

James Lieberman, M.D.
