Denise Lowe, author of Women and American Television: An Encyclopedia, presents a rich collection that profiles many of the women who were crucial to the development of cinema as an industryand as an art form. Whether working behind the scenes as producers or publicists, behind the cameras as writers, directors, or editors, or in front of the lens as flappers, vamps, or serial queens, hundreds of women made profound and lasting contributions to the evolution of the motion picture production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Betty Weaver Fridley always wanted to be a school teacher, she played school instead of house as a child. Her mother encouraged her toward that end. When the local school, was replacing some of its old desks, Dimmis, her mother, hauled three of the old desks home in her child's little wagon. They lived in the country, only a quarter of a mile from Jackson Township Schools. Betty then had her own schoolroom in the old "smoke house" on the farm. In 1945 Betty graduated from Bowling Green State University, where she had been elected treasurer of the Senior Class, and was a member of the Alpha Phi Sorority, where she was also treasurer her senior year. She started her Business Education teaching career in the little town of Anna, Ohio, "Earthquake center of Ohio." I'm not kidding. Anna had two devastating earthquakes in 1936, which condemned the school and the two brick churches. She taught Stenography courses for 33 years, retiring in 1985. At present, she and her husband of nearly 65 years, own and operate Dishong Country Store Antiques on the edge of Anna. The store is furnished with antique showcases, and merchandise from Betty's grandfather Uriah Dishong's General Store, which was located in Hoytville, Wood County, Ohio. For solace and for her eyes alone, she would often put her thoughts on paper, especially if the thoughts were disturbing.

Download or read book Bet the Farm written by Beth Hoffman and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eloquent and detailed...It's hard to have hope, but the organized observations and plans of Hoffman and people like her give me some. Read her book -- and listen." -- Jane Smiley, The Washington Post In her late 40s, Beth Hoffman decided to upend her comfortable life as a professor and journalist to move to her husband's family ranch in Iowa--all for the dream of becoming a farmer. There was just one problem: money. Half of America's two million farms made less than $300 in 2019, and many struggle just to stay afloat. Bet the Farm chronicles this struggle through Beth's eyes. She must contend with her father-in-law, who is reluctant to hand over control of the land. Growing oats is good for the environment but ends up being very bad for the wallet. And finding somewhere, in the midst of COVID-19, to slaughter grass finished beef is a nightmare. If Beth can't make it, how can farmers who confront racism, lack access to land, or don't have other jobs to fall back on hack it? Bet the Farm is a first-hand account of the perils of farming today and a personal exploration of more just and sustainable ways of producing food.
