Mamie Doud Eisenhower: The General's First Lady
ISBN: 9780700615391 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It was fitting for a soldier's wife to make curtains out of military-surplus parachutes. That they would hang in the White House made little difference. Mamie Doud Eisenhower was a president's wife who seemed to most Americans like the friend next door. She gave us "Mamie pink" and "Mamie bangs" but has stood in the shadows of first ladies who followed. Yet she accomplished more than even her own contemporaries noticed, and her popularity not only enhanced her husband's presidency but also put a distinctive stamp on the role of first lady. This first scholarly biography of Mamie...

The Orphan Trains: Placing Out in America
ISBN: 9780803272651 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "From 1850 to 1930 America witnessed a unique emigration and resettlement of at least 200,000 children and several thousand adults, primarily from the East Coast to the West. This 'placing out, ' an attempt to find homes for the urban poor, was best known by the 'orphan trains' that carried the children. Holt carefully analyzes the system, initially instituted by the New York Children's Aid Society in 1853, tracking its imitators as well as the reasons for its creation and demise. She captures the children's perspective with the judicious use of oral histories, institutional records, and...

Cold War Kids: Politics and Childhood in Postwar America, 1945-1960
ISBN: 9780700619641 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Today we take it for granted that political leaders and presidential administrations will address issues related to children and teenagers. But in the not-so-distant past, politicians had little to say, and federal programs less to do with children--except those of very specific populations. This book shows how the Cold War changed all that. Against the backdrop of the postwar baby boom, and the rise of a distinct teen culture, Cold War Kids unfolds the little-known story of how politics and federal policy expanded their influence in shaping children's lives and experiences--making way...

Indian Orphanages
ISBN: 9780700613632 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. With their deep tradition of tribal and kinship ties, Native Americans had lived for centuries with little use for the concept of an unwanted child. But besieged by reservation life and boarding school acculturation, many tribes--with the encouragement of whites--came to accept the need for orphanages. The first book to focus exclusively on this subject, Marilyn Holt's study interweaves Indian history, educational history, family history, and child welfare policy to tell the story of Indian orphanages within the larger context of the orphan asylum in America. She relates the history of...

Linoleum, Better Babies, and the Modern Farm Woman, 1890-1930
ISBN: 9780803224360 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Progressive Era, falling between the conspicuous materialism of the Gay Nineties and the excesses of the Roaring Twenties, promoted a vision of America united by an emphasis on science and progressive reform. The zeal to modernize business, government, and social relations extended to farm families and the ways women defined their roles. In this study of the expert advice offered by the domestic-economy movement, Marilyn Irvin Holt argues that women were not passive receptors of these views. Seeing their place in agriculture as multifaceted and important, they eagerly accepted improved...
