Críticas
"Food and Everyday Life on Kentucky Family Farms, 1920-1950, vividly recounts the story of this era and the changes it wrought through the voices of those who lived it...The authors' choice to remain in the background not only gives voice to the 'lived experience' of those they interviewed, it also makes for a poignant and powerful memoir. This book is not just about farming; it is also a delectable testimony to Kentucky's foods and foodways...Scholars interested in the history and culture of the Upper South, food studies, and oral history will find this book a welcome addition to their library. Anyone who grew up in rural or small-town Kentucky in the middle years of the twentieth century will recognize these people and their stories. They will enjoy reliving their own memories, which this book is sure to summon forth. John and Anne van Willigen have made a lasting contribution to the collective memory of Kentucky, and for that we should all be grateful." -- Register of the Kentucky Historical Society "One could easily read selected chapters of interest and still gain great insight, especially in combination with the first and last chapters. This feature makes it useful for academic scholars, preservationists interested in a particular type of material culture, and students." -- Elizabeth J. Leppman, Material Culture "Basing their writing on interviews conducted by the University of Kentucky's Family Farm Project along with archival research, photographs, and recipes, the authors have produces a very readable and insightful history of what Kentuckians ate and what they did during that period. Food and Everyday Life on Kentucky Family Farms is one of the kinds of books that can help you "flesh out" your family's heritage and lifestyle and gain a much better understanding of what their lives were like during that trying period in our nation's history." -- Kentucky Ancestors ""Food and Everday Life... gives a strong flavor of how life was for individuals on Kentucky farms before mid-century."" -- Agricultural History "What makes this book outstanding and essential is the clarity of the voices of the individuals. The authors are to be commended for allowing those voices to ring strong and clear." -- Ronni Lundy, author of Shuck Beans, Stack Cakes, and Honest Fried Chicken: The "This is a readable story about foodways and folkways, but, most of all, it is a story of a people. Their voices recall a way of life that, though past, is certainly not forgotten, nor should it ever be." -- James C. Klotter, State Historian of Kentucky "This book admirably details the round of daily life on Kentucky family farms from 1920 to 1950, a transformative era in agriculture. The authors' accounts of daily work and play... offer a valuable record of what life was like on family farms in this region; they invite comparison to other regions as well as consideration of the forces that effected profound changes in the texture of society. Recommended." -- Choice "Finalist for the Governor's Award given by the Kentucky Historical Society." --

The landmark 2008 presidential and vice presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin brought the role of women in American leadership into sharper focus than ever before. These women and others such as Nancy Pelosi and Katie Couric who are successful in traditionally male-dominated fields, demonstrate how women's roles have changed in the last thirty years. In the past, the nightly news was anchored by male journalists, presidential cabinets were composed solely of male advisors, and a female presidential candidate was an idea for the distant future, but the efforts of dedicated reformers have changed the social landscape. The empowerment of women is not limited to the political sphere, but is also echoed by the portrayal of women in film, television, magazines, and literature. You've Come a Long Way, Baby: Women, Politics, and Popular Culture investigates the role of popular culture in women's lives. Framed by discussions of contemporary feminism, the volume examines gender in relation to sexuality, the workplace, consumerism, fashion, politics, and the beauty industry. In analyzing societal depictions of women, editor Lilly J. Goren and an impressive list of contributors illustrate how media reflects and shapes the feminine sense of power, identity, and the daily challenges of the twenty-first century. Along with a discussion of women in politics, various contributors examine a range of gender-related issues from modern motherhood and its implications for female independence to the roles of women and feminism in pop music. In addition, Natalie Fuehrer Taylor outlines the evolution of women's magazines from Ladies' Home Journal to Cosmopolitan. The impact of television and literature on body image issues is also explored by Linda Beail, who draws on trendy chick lit phenomena such as Gossip Girl and Sex and the City, and Emily Askew, who analyzes the effects of image transformation in programs such as The Swan and Extreme Makeover. As comprehensive as it is accessible, You've Come a Long Way, Baby is a practical guide to understanding modern gender roles. In tracing the different ways in which femininity is constructed and viewed, the book demonstrates how women have reclaimed traditionally domestic activities that include knitting, gardening, and cooking, as well as feminine symbols such as Barbie dolls, high heels, and lipstick. Though the demand for and pursuit of gender equality opened many doors, the contributors reveal that fictional women's roles are often at odds with the daily experiences of most women. By employing an open approach rather than adhering to a single, narrow theory, You've Come a Long Way, Baby appeals not only to scholars and students of gender studies but to anyone interested in confronting the struggles and celebrating the achievements of women in modern society.
