Arlene Eisenberg

Arlene Leila Scharaga Eisenberg (June 8, 1934 – February 8, 2001) was an author best known for her contributions to parenting to self-help literature. Eisenberg co-wrote what has been described as the "bible of American pregnancy," What to Expect When You're Expecting (1984). The book's success led to the ''What To Expect'' parenting series, which as of 2012, has sold over 34 million copies in 30 languages.

Eisenberg married Howard Eisenberg at 18. Howard Eisenberg, then, a publicist for singer Eddie Fisher, encouraged Eisenberg to write. With Arlene's newfound inspiration, the duo soon began writing together, publishing articles and books in the major media. As of 2016, Howard Eisenberg continues to write in tribute to Arlene's honor. Provided by Wikipedia
