Andelin was an author and leader of the Fascinating Womanhood movement, which emphasized traditional gender roles in marriage. The Helen B. Andelin photograph collection contains portraits of Andelin and her husband. English

Helen B. Andelin (1920-2009) was born Helen Berry in Mesa, Arizona. A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Helen Berry attended Brigham Young University, where she met and married Aubrey Passey Andelin (1918-1999). Hoping to share the secret of her own happy marriage with other women, Helen Andelin began teaching marriage enrichment classes and wrote and initially self published her controversial book, Fascinating Womanhood. Emphasizing traditional domestic roles for women, Andelin's teachings conflicted with other women's movements of the era; however, the Fascinating Womanhood movement gained a strong following which is still alive today. Andelin continued to be active in the movement until her death in 2009.

The Helen B. Andelin photograph collection consists of three black-and-white photograph portraits of Helen and Aubrey Andelin dating from the 1970s.
