the library catalog online. They only have 1 book by Jaffe, Five Women. Written much later, 1997.

Actually you and I are the same age, but I didn't start living in the US until the mid-60s. This, I believe, has given me a rather unique view. My first outrage was over racial discrimination and I never really began to appreciate the double standard problem until the 80s, when I started living it myself. How sad, now, the see such little progress made on either front.
