I'd gather that because she married mathematician Alfred Gray, that her original, maiden name was "Wheat."\n\nTo answer and enlighten the previous answerer, she's a mathematician who received her PhD in 1964, and has been a theorist and teacher for over 40 years now.  Here's a short bio from her homepage:\n\nProfessor Gray is the author of books and papers in the fields of mathematics, mathematics education, computer science, applied statistics, economic equity, discrimination law, and academic freedom.  She has lectured throughout the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America.  Her current research interests include applications of statistics in litigation, ethical issues in statistics, intellectual property and academic freedom, and language and gender issues in mathematics.  Her work has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the Karim Rida Said Foundation in London.\n\nProfessor Gray has served as consultant and expert witness on issues of university governance, academic freedom and tenure, faculty personnel policies, economic equity, and technology in higher education in the United States, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.  She has a visiting appointment at the King’s College (London) School of Medicine.\n\nIn 2001 Dr. Gray visited the three Kurdish provinces of Iraqi (Dohuk, Erbil, and Sulemaniya) to consult on issues in higher education, human rights, technology, and the conduct of a population census.  During 2003 she worked on the USAID project, Revitalization of Iraqi Schools/Stabilization of Education, focusing on an inventory of the secondary schools of Iraq and community interviews with Iraqi parents and teachers. Beginning in 2005 she is advising the Kurdistan Regional Government on information technology issues and the conduct of a census.\n\nThe first president of the Association for Women in Mathematics, past president of the Women’s Equity Action League and president-elect of the Caucus for Women in Statistics,  Dr. Gray has been a member of boards and committees of such organizations as Amnesty International, the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Middle East Education Foundation, the Universal Education Foundation, and the American Association of University Professors, has served as vice-president of the American Mathematical Society, is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and was recently elected to membership in the International Statistical Institute.  Professor Gray has been chair of the Board of Directors of Amnesty International USA, International Treasurer of Amnesty International, and chair of its international Development Committee.  President Bush awarded her the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Mentoring.\n\nDr. Gray has previously taught at the University of Kansas, the University of California, Berkeley, and California State University, Hayward, and has worked at the National Bureau of Standards and as a consultant for a number of government agencies and private firms.  She has served several terms as chair of her department and as Director of the Women’s and Gender Studies Program at American University.  Her undergraduate degree is from Hastings College, her Ph.D. is from the University of Kansas, and she has studied in Germany on a Fulbright grant.  She also has a J.D. degree from Washington College of Law, American University and is a member of the District of Columbia and U.S. Supreme bars.  She has been awarded honorary degrees by the University of Nebraska and Hastings College.\n\nHope the answer fits.

I think you may mean Betty Crocker.  I believe she is only a trade name for cake mixes and cook books.  Sort of the same as Aunt Jamima pancakes or Mary Maxium wool.

THE PLAIN STEEL marker on Sleepy Hole Road in Suffolk pings in the winter wind. It says that James Bowser was the only Negro from Nansemond County to fight in the American Revolution. \n\nread more about it on the website...\n\nit is a college with significant ties to the black community, so there is no suprise in a building being named after him.

Elizabeth Arden (December 31, 1878 - October 18, 1966) was a Canadian-born businesswoman who built a cosmetics empire in the United States.\n\nBorn Florence Nightingale Graham in Woodbridge, Ontario, where she lived until she was twenty-four years old. Joining her elder brother in New York City, she briefly worked as a bookkeeper for the E.R. Squibb Pharmaceuticals Company. While working there, she spent hours in their lab, learning about skincare. She then worked for Eleanor Adair, an early beauty culturist, as a "treatment girl." In 1909, Arden formed a partnership with Elizabeth Hubbard, another culturist. When the partnership dissolved, she coined the business name "Elizabeth Arden" from her former partner and from Tennyson's poem "Enoch Arden."\n\nIn 1912, Arden travelled to France to learn beauty and facial massage techniques used in the Paris beauty salons. She returned with a collection of rouges and tinted powders she had created. In an era when it was only acceptable for stage performers to wear makeup, Arden introduced modern eye makeup to North America. She also introduced the concept of the "makeover" in her salons.\n\nArden collaborated with A. Fabian Swanson, a chemist, to create a "fluffy" face cream. The success of the cream, called Venetian Cream Amoretta, and corresponding lotion, named Arden Skin Tonic, led to a long-lasting business relationship. This revolutionized cosmetics, bringing a scientific approach to formulations.\n\nIn 1915 she married Thomas J. Lewis, a banker, thus becoming an American citizen. The same year she began international operations. During the 1920s and 1930s, Arden was constantly competing with Helena Rubenstein and Dorothy Gray. Opening salons across the world allowed Arden to compete in other markets besides the U.S.. Arden claimed that "There are only three American names that are known in every corner of the globe: Singer sewing machines, Coca Cola and Elizabeth Arden."\n\nDuring World War II, Arden recognized the changing needs of the American woman entering the work world. She showed women how to apply makeup and dress appropriately for careers outside the home. She created a lipstick called Montezuma Red, for the women in the armed forces that would match the red on their uniforms.\n\nArden's drive for success cost her her marriage to Lewis. They divorced in 1934. A second marriage to a Russian prince only lasted 13 months.\n\nAlthough most of her commercial success was in cosmetics, she also pioneered restorative musical exercises based on yoga. She started a fashion business in 1943 with notable designers like Oscar de la Renta on staff. She was on the cover of the May 6, 1946 issue of Time magazine.\n\nArden is also notable for creating foundations that matched a person's skin tone; creating the idea of the "Total Look" in which eye, lip, cheek, and fingernail colors matched or coordinated; and she was the first to make a cosmetics commercial shown in movie houses.\n\nShe would use the name Maine Chance for her exclusive resort and health spa on Long Pond in Mount Vernon, Maine, catering to such clientele as Mamie Eisenhower. At one time, the resort and its operating farm produced much of the food for the spa and was a significant employer in the town. Ms Arden used the name Maine Chance Farm for her thoroughbred horse racing and breeding operation in Lexington, Kentucky. In 1931 she had bought her first horse at the Fasig-Tipton sales at the Saratoga Race Course and in the ninteen forties and fifties, she built Maine Chance Farm into a major force in American horse racing. In 1945, Star Pilot and Beaugay were the Eclipse Award colt and filly champions, and her stable was the leading money-winner in the United States. In 1947 her colt Jet Pilot, trained and ridden by future Hall of Famers Tom Smith and Eric Guerin won the Kentucky Derby. In 1954, her filly "Fascinator," won the Ken

I used Thompson/Gale's Biography Resource Center and I can only find these people with that last name:\n\nKerman, Cynthia Earl (American writer, 1923-)\nKerman, Joseph Wilfred (English writer, 1924-)\nKerman, Judith (Berna) (American writer, 1945-)\nKerman, Sheppard (American writer, 1928-1991)\n\nWorldcat, an online union catalog of almost all of the libraries with electronic catalogs in the world does have an author name Sue (note the spelling difference) Kerman.   Perhaps this is the person you are looking for? \n\nYou may have to correct the spelling or if you are sure of the spelling check other biographical resources.  Your local librarian can certainly help. \n\nGood luck!
