Long before Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, there was Mary Richards in The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Every week, as Mary flung her beret into the air while the theme song proclaimed, "You're gonna make it after all," it seemed that young, independent women like herself had finally arrived. But as Katherine Lehman reveals, the struggle to create accurate portrayals of successful single women for American TV and cinema during the 1960s and 1970s wasn't as simple as the toss of a hat.

Editorial : From the Back Cover
"Ranging across diverse media, genres, and audiences, Lehman artfully maps the motivations, meanings, and contradictions that both liberated and limited the `single girl' in the American imagination."--Bonnie J. Dow, author of Prime-Time Feminists: Television, Media Culture, and the Women's Movement Since 1970 "Carefully researched, beautifully written, this is a must-read book for anyone who wants to understand the cultural and social roots of the modern women's movement."--Ruth Rosen, author of The World Split Open: How the Modern Women's Movement Changed America "This is feminist cultural history at its best!"--Elana Levine, author of Wallowing in Sex: The New Sexual Culture of 1970s American Television

Finally, question #375 says (B) is not a provision of the Clayton Anti-Trust Act, but the act was designed to attack oligopolistic trusts as well. He would trust the expert intuition of a firefighter; there is some similarity among fires, and the firemen learns quickly about his mistakes. His part is demanding: nine out of seventeen songs are sung wholly or in part by Chuck. Florens does an amazing job giving you all the steps and tools you need to take your bridal photography to the next level.
In each of his 75 tips, he dissects the shots and tells you exactly what he did to create his wonderful photographs. Jerry Orbach just brings down the house with his renditions of "Promises, Promises" and "Half as Big as Life". I love this book, great for kids and adults alike. #303
