I Do But I Don't
Author: Kamy Wicoff
Publisher: Da Capo Lifelong Books
ISBN: 073821177X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Why is the stereotypical image of the bride before her wedding day that of a stressed, moody, indecisive, and frustrated woman cracking under pressure and snapping at everyone in sight? Why does being a bride feel like going through a second adolescence? And why, with the rate of couples seeking counseling for wedding-related debt doubling from year to year, do we continue to spend absurd amounts of money on this institution? Examining how the pressure to give into the crowd (mothers, mothers-in-law, caterers, dressmakers, bridesmaids, the groom himself) and the associated traditions (wearing white, being given away, being introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Groom) is sometimes at odds with the "progress" the bride and groom may have made on these issues in private, Kamy Wicoff answers these questions and more in this sure-to-be-talked-about look at the modern bride. Through poignant and funny personal experience, eye-opening conversations with other brides, and scholarly and popular research, she strives to find both the personal and cultural meaning of all the trappings and traditions-from the proposal to the ring, to the dress, and even the bachelorette party. Her insights will blow the roof off the proverbial wedding tent. Her passionate argument for conscious marriage will ring true to the thousands of women planning weddings every day. To keep our sanity, our integrity, and our relationships intact, Wicoff says, "the way we marry matters."

Feminism, Self-Presentation, and Pinterest
Author: Emily S. Johnson
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1793611491
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Feminism, Self-Presentation, and Pinterest: The Labor of Wedding Planning argues that Pinterest, which has been largely criticized for perpetuating vapid stereotypical gender roles, is actually a dynamic digital curation tool that facilitates meaning-making around the important cultural event of the Western wedding. Emily S. Johnson, through a thorough examination of how aspiring brides use the platform to plan their weddings, found that Pinterest is a unique platform that offers brides the opportunity to construct their own wedding identity by engaging in creativity and exercising voice and agency during planning. Even if the content they are consuming does support tenets of patriarchy or gender roles, brides are able to make their own choices, rather than having their goals determined for them through societal or familial norms and expectations. The platform integrates both the online and offline “labors” of wedding planning as brides create meaning through the curation process and connect with the self as they execute their planning. Overall, Johnson argues that, far from the stereotypes of fantasizing about dream weddings and luxurious lifestyles that may be unrealistic, Pinterest gives brides increased ability to make their own, specialized vision come to life. Scholars of women’s studies, gender studies, communication, media studies, cultural studies, and rhetoric will find this book particularly useful.

Book Description
The news media was driving everyone crazy. It started with Y2K, then the Bush/Gore presidential election controversy, the Clinton pardons, the September 11th attacks, and the anthrax letters.

Sex and financial scandals erupted involving the Catholic Church and Wall Street. Massive layoffs, soaring debt and skyrocketing college tuition added to these. The media never missed a beat. Was there no escaping them? The Nation's Capitol in commemorating last years September 11th attacks, was also preparing for an upcoming mayoral election. The current incumbent was expected to breeze toward reelection, but what followed seemed like a page out of William Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. This prompted a virtual unknown to launch a comedy contest to provide some comic relief for the city from this onslaught of negative news. Only four contestants remained to compete for the prize money. However, only Archie Harris, one of the four finalists showed up at the finale. More bad news? What will happen now? Find out by reading Post-9/11 African American Style, Laughter, Still Da Best Medicine.
