(For any woman who has ever gained five pounds . . . or br...)
For any woman who has ever gained five pounds . . . or broken a nail . . . or dropped a plate . . . or changed a diaper . . . or lost her glasses . . . or got a runner . . . or burned the roast . . . or waited to check out . . . or argued with the repairman--here's help! This latest book by bestselling author Marabel Morgan gives commonsensical ways to cope with the fast-track life of the eighties. Each of us is constantly bombarded with "downers" of all types, says marabel-the problems and irritations that hit our nervous systems like electric shocks. Some are the A-number-1, downers like divorce, disease, or the death of a loved one. Others are the mini downers, the diddly-squat irritations confront us every day-the broken plate, the broken nail, the broken promise. In The Electric Woman, Marabel shares ways she has found to channel all this electricity, these exasperating lightning bolts, into a life fully charged with power and light. With a gentle wit, she uses personal anecdotes from her life as wife, mother, and author to show how to create an atmosphere in which "uppers" are more likely to happen. If you want to learn how to transform the high voltage of life's downers into positive energy, try the advice of a woman who has found a game plan that works.

Morgan, Marabel was born on June 25, 1937 in Crestline, Ohio, United States. Daughter of Howard and Delsa (Smith) Hawk.
Educated, Ohio State University.
The Total Woman sold more than ten million copies and was the bestselling nonfiction book of 1974. These lessons were reiterated in Morgan"s popular Total Woman Seminars. Due in part to her sunny disposition and facility with soundbites, Morgan became an unofficial spokesperson for opposition to the women"s movement.
She was a regular guest on The Philosophy Donahue Show, was featured on the cover of Time Magazine, and was named one of the most influential women in America by People magazine and the 1975 World Almanac.
Morgan was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 1987 and currently works in the health industry. "Total Woman" is again referenced later in the episode, when more aspects of the movement are elucidated.
Maude, a staunch feminist, is incensed by her friend"s change, and confronts what she believes is her husband"s growing interest in being pampered in this manner by seemingly also dressing in saran wrap under a trench coat and greeting a male neighbour who knocks on the Findlays" door. In an episode of James Garner"s National Broadcasting Company-television series The Rockford Files entitled "Trouble in Chapter 17" (23 September 1977), the character of Anne Louise Clement (Claudette Nevins), who believes her book on how to be the perfect wife is the cause of the death threats against her and for whom Jim must act as bodyguard, is closely based on Marabel Morgan.
A 1978 episode of Rhoda also dealt with the topic.
Although the book carries a different title in the episode ("How to Be a Different Woman in Every Room"), the episode is entitled "The Total Brenda." In it, Rhoda"s sister Brenda takes to wearing frilly dresses and fulfilling her fiancé"s perceived fantasies on a variety of levels, much to the chagrin of liberated Rhoda. In a 2000 episode ("Rory"s Dance") of Gilmore Girls, Lorelai (played by Lauren Graham) jokingly tells her mother (Kelly Bishop) that she would have come to the door to let her in, but she didn"t have any saran wrap.
