Download or read book Here She Is written by Hilary Levey Friedman and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh exploration of American feminist history told through the lens of the beauty pageant world. Many predicted that pageants would disappear by the 21st century. Yet they are thriving. America’s most enduring contest, Miss America, celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2020. Why do they persist? In Here She Is, Hilary Levey Friedman reveals the surprising ways pageants have been an empowering feminist tradition. She traces the role of pageants in many of the feminist movement’s signature achievements, including bringing women into the public sphere, helping them become leaders in business and politics, providing increased educational opportunities, and giving them a voice in the age of #MeToo. Using her unique perspective as a NOW state president, daughter to Miss America 1970, sometimes pageant judge, and scholar, Friedman explores how pageants became so deeply embedded in American life from their origins as a P.T. Barnum spectacle at the birth of the suffrage movement, through Miss Universe’s bathing beauties to the talent- and achievement-based competitions of today. She looks at how pageantry has morphed into culture everywhere from The Bachelor and RuPaul’s Drag Race to cheer and specialized contests like those for children, Indigenous women, and contestants with disabilities. Friedman also acknowledges the damaging and unrealistic expectations pageants place on women in society and discusses the controversies, including Miss America’s ableist and racist history, Trump’s ownership of the Miss Universe Organization, and the death of child pageant-winner JonBenét Ramsey. Presenting a more complex narrative than what’s been previously portrayed, Here She Is shows that as American women continue to evolve, so too will beauty pageants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the South's pageant queens to the importance of beauty parlors to African American communities, it is easy to see the ways beauty is enmeshed in southern culture. But as Blain Roberts shows in this incisive work, the pursuit of beauty in the South was linked to the tumultuous racial divides of the region, where the Jim Crow-era cosmetics industry came of age selling the idea of makeup that emphasized whiteness, and where, in the 1950s and 1960s, black-owned beauty shops served as crucial sites of resistance for civil rights activists. In these times of strained relations in the South, beauty became a signifier of power and affluence while it reinforced racial strife. Roberts examines a range of beauty products, practices, and rituals--cosmetics, hairdressing, clothing, and beauty contests--in settings that range from tobacco farms of the Great Depression to 1950s and 1960s college campuses. In so doing, she uncovers the role of female beauty in the economic and cultural modernization of the South. By showing how battles over beauty came to a head during the civil rights movement, Roberts sheds new light on the tactics southerners used to resist and achieve desegregation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah Banet-Weiser complicates the standard feminist take on beauty pageants in this intriguing look at a hotly contested but enduringly popular American ritual. She focuses on the Miss America pageant in particular, considering its claim to be an accurate representation of the diversity of contemporary American women. Exploring the cultural constructions and legitimations that go on during the long process of the pageant, Banet-Weiser depicts the beauty pageant stage as a place where concerns about national identity, cultural hopes and desires, and anxieties about race and gender are crystallized and condensed. The beauty pageant, she convincingly demonstrates, is a profoundly political arena deserving of serious study. Drawing on cultural criticism, ethnographic research, and interviews with pageant participants and officials, The Most Beautiful Girl in the World illustrates how contestants invent and reinvent themselves while articulating the female body as a national body. Banet-Weiser finds that most pageants are characterized by the ambivalence of contemporary "liberal" feminism, which encourages individual achievement, self-determination, and civic responsibility, while simultaneously promoting very conventional notions of beauty. The book explores the many different aspects of the Miss America pageant, including the swimsuit, the interview, and the talent competitions. It also takes a closer look at some extraordinary Miss Americas, such as Bess Myerson, the first Jewish Miss America; Vanessa Williams, the first African American Miss America; and Heather Whitestone, the first Miss America with a disability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1984, Vanessa Williams broke the race barrier to become Miss America, but she was not the first Black woman to wear a pageant crown. Black beauty pageants created a distinctive and celebrated cultural tradition during some of the most dismal times in the country's racial history. With the rise of the civil rights and Black Pride movements, pageantry also represented a component of social activism. Professor Kimberly Pellum explores this glamourous and profound history with contributions by dozens of former contestants who share their personal experiences.

This book was released on 2017-02-14 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beauty Pageants for Little Girls Is Your Daughter Exceptionally Pretty? Does She Have an Outgoing Personality? Have You Ever Though About Entering Her in a Pageant? Discover the World of Pageantry! If you answered yes to any of those questions above you obviously have a beautiful daughter. If you answered yes you obviously want to learn more about entering her into a beauty pageant. Beauty Pageants for young women have been around for many years. Miss America, Miss Universe and so on. There are many reasons why these women choose to participate. Each candidate has their own motivation. Sometimes they join for the fame, fortunate and travel. Others participate in hopes of attaining scholastic rewards such as scholarships or monetary rewards that will allow them to pursue higher education. The latter two are the most often reasons given when parents elect to enroll their young girls in local and regional pageants. The primary reason is money. If they can earn enough money to invest in further pageants they hold out hope that they can progress their daughter through the ranks to larger, more lucrative pageants as they advance in age. There is much to learn when choosing to enter the world of beauty pageantry. It isn't all glowing and rosy. Not every child is a candidate and not every pageant is appropriate. In fact, it can be downright stressful. Unfortunately, beauty pageants for little girls are infiltrated with instances of fraud. You must be very careful when selecting which events to participate in. It seems that every avenue of life is fraught with potential ugliness. It's particularly unsavory when it's embedded into activities that revolve around children. Promoters have been known to schedule pageants selling packages for entry and other benefits then failing to follow through. In some cases they are never seen again after taking your money. It's important that you learn everything you need to know before you sign anything pay any money. Additionally, there is other information that you need to become familiar with before entering the world of pageantry for your little girl. Don't know where to begin? "Beauty Pageants for Little Girls" teaches you everything you need to know to school yourself in the world of pageantry. Crammed into the digital pages is information on how to find pageants in your local area. You can also learn how to start your own if you do not have a local venue. Legitimate pageants will interview potential candidates. Discover what the normal interview is all about and what the interviewer is looking for. Where to find the proper dresses and how to style the entrants hair are other topics you will get the answers to in "Beauty Pageants for Little Girls." Another possibility to consider is creating a pageant video. Some parents have found that submitting a video of their child containing an overview of her talent and giving her a small speaking role helps to boost their child into the top contenders. Other parents have found that having a photographic portfolio is important in promoting your child. Professional photography is not cheap but it does add to the validity of your entry. Many have found that participating in beauty pageants is also a vehicle to launch their child into a modeling career. We all tend to think of modeling as string bean women that grace the cover of magazines. That isn't always true. Stop and ponder for a moment just how often you are confronted with a model, whether it's a child or an adult. Television commercials, magazine commercials, posters and more all use models. The list is endless. We could go on and on about the wealth of information contained in "Beauty Pageants for Little Girls" but the best course of action is to have your own copy. You can do that easily and it's guaranteed. If you are seriously interested in pursuing this for your child, get your copy now. We take all the risk.
