Seeing the American Woman, 1880-1920: The Social Impact of the Visual Media Explosion
ISBN: 9780786466610 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) From 1880 to 1920, the first truly national visual culture developed in the United States as a result of the completion of the Pacific Railroad and a new level of invention, reproduction, and distribution of all kinds of images. Women, especially young and beautiful ones, found new lives shaped by their participation in that visual culture. This rapidly evolving age left behind the "cult of domesticity" that reigned in the nineteenth century to give rise to new "types" of women based on a single feature--a type of hair, skin, dress, or prop--including the Gibson Girl, the sob sister, the...

Owning Up: Privacy, Property, and Belonging in U.S. Women's Life Writing
ISBN: 9780195336801 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Owning Up provides a new model for interpreting the U.S. discourse on privacy. Focusing on the formative period of the nineteenth century, Adams shows that conceptions of privacy became meaningful only when posed in opposition to the encroaching forces of market capitalism and commodification. Even as Americans came to regard privacy as a natural right and to identify it with sacred ideals of democratic freedom, they also learned to think of it as fragile and under threat. Owning Up argues that narratives of violation and dispossession played a fundamental role in the...

After the Vote Was Won: The Later Achievements of Fifteen Suffragists
ISBN: 9780786449385 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Because scholars have traditionally examined the efforts of American suffragists only in relation to electoral politics, the history books have largely missed the real story of what these women achieved far outside the realm of voting reform. Though Stanton, Anthony, and Mott are the best known figures of the woman s suffrage movement, all were dead more than a decade before women actually achieved the vote. Women like Alice Paul, Louisine Havemeyer, and Mary Church Terrell carried on their work, putting their campaign experiences to work long after the 19th Amendment was ratified. This book...

ISBN: 9780805832365 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. At the beginning of the 20th century, Progressive reformers set up curricula in journalism, public relations, and creative writing to fulfill their own purposes: well-trained rhetors could convince the United States citizenry to accept Progressive thinking on monopolies and unions and to elect reform candidates. Although Progressive politicians and educators envisioned these courses and majors as forwarding their own goals, they could not control the intentions of the graduates thus trained or the employers who hired them. The period's vast panorama of rhetoric, including Theodore Roosevelt's...

ISBN: 9780252074714 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9781476662978 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In 1935, the United States Congress began employing large numbers of American artists through the Works Progress Administration--fiction writers, photographers, poster artists, dramatists, painters, sculptors, muralists, wood carvers, composers and choreographers, as well as journalists, historians and researchers.
