Wartime Style

Fashion and American Culture During 20th Century Conflicts

By: Lora Ann Sigler

This work is a comparative study of the three "great" American wars of the 20th century: World War I, World War II and Vietnam. The book explores several aspects of American popular culture, like fashion, film and societal mores. While a number of books have covered fashion during individual wars, this is the first study to compare several major conflicts, drawing some conclusions regarding the lasting influences of wardrobe over an entire century. This book provides short background information for each war, briefly covering earlier conflicts that shaped the hostilities of the 20th century. Although the emphasis is on women's clothing, participation and service, men are not ignored. Their fashions not only speak to the times, but the enormity of their sacrifices.

Clothes Make the Character

The Role of Wardrobe in Early Motion Pictures

By: Lora Ann Sigler

Clothes make the man" (or woman). This is especially true in early Hollywood silent films where a character's appearance could show an immense number of different things about them. For example, Theda Bara's role in A Fool There Was (1915) was known for her revealing clothing, seductive appearance, and being the first "Vamp." Wardrobe and costume design played a larger role in silent films than in modern movies. The character's clothes told the audience who they were and what their role was in the movie. In this in-depth analysis, the author provides examples and explanations about noteworthy characters who used their appearance to further their fame.

Medieval Art and the Look of Silent Film

The Influence on Costume and Set Design

By: Lora Ann Sigler

The heyday of silent film soon became quaint with the arrival of "talkies." As early as 1929, critics and historians were writing of the period as though it were the distant past. Much of the literature on the silent era focuses on its filmic art--ambiance and psychological depth, the splendor of the sets and costumes--yet overlooks the inspiration behind these. This book explores the Middle Ages as the prevailing influence on costume and set design in silent film and a force in fashion and architecture of the era. In the wake of World War I, designers overthrew the artifice of prewar style and manners and drew upon what seemed a nobler, purer age to create an ambiance that reflected higher ideals.

Women Doing Life

Gender, Punishment and the Struggle for Identity

By: Lora Bex Lempert

In Women Doing Life, Lora Bex Lempert examines the carceral experiences of women serving life sentences, presenting a typology of the ways that life-sentenced women grow and self-actualize, resist prison definitions, reflect on and own their criminal acts, and ultimately create meaningful lives behind prison walls. Looking beyond the explosive headlines that often characterize these women as monsters, Lempert offers rare insight into this vulnerable, little studied population. Her gendered analysis considers the ways that women do crime differently than men and how they have qualitatively different experiences of imprisonment than their male counterparts."--Provided by publisher.

Mawson's Mission

Launching Women's Intercollegiate Athletics at the University of Kansas

By: Lora Marlene Mawson

Before 1968, women’s athletics in higher education meant playdays and sports days. That spring, when the Division of Girls and Women in Sports announced that national collegiate sports championships for women would begin in 1969, Marlene Mawson, a new hire on the physical education faculty at the University of Kansas, was charged with establishing a women’s athletics program. “I was on my own,” Mawson recalls, “because there was no precedent for creating a women’s athletics program with a meager budget.” That meant planning sports competition schedules, staffing coaches, organizing policies and procedures for coaches and athletes, coordinating practice schedules, budgeting, and directing the new KU intercollegiate sports program for women without intervention or guidance. In their first decade, KU women’s teams competed in national championships in volleyball, basketball, softball, and gymnastics. In this book, Mawson, who was inducted into the KU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009, describes her remarkable career, from her early years in Missouri to her retirement. With behind-the-scenes views and insights that reflect a lifetime’s experience, her memoir weaves together the history of the development of women’s athletics at the University of Kansas and the story of the birth of women’s intercollegiate athletics across the United States—from the Olympic Development Committee to Title IX to the NCAA. It is an engaging account of groundbreaking personal achievement by a woman in the world of college sports, and a stirring record of an extraordinary but little-documented decade in the evolution of women’s athletics.

Aber man braucht ein ganzes Leben, um sie wieder zu vergessen. Genau so ergeht es der achtzehnjährigen Drea. In ihrem Englischlehrer Logan Black glaubte sie ihre große Liebe gefunden zu haben. Doch die Beziehung der beiden hat kein schönes Ende genommen. Zu gefährlich ist ihre Liebe, zu groß ist die Kluft zwischen den beiden, zu groß die Geister ihrer beider Vergangenheit.

Please love me

By: Lora Flynn

Vor zwölf Wochen war mein Leben völlig aus den Fugen geraten. Ich verlor meine Mutter und meine erste große Liebe. Beides an einem Tag. Ich war mir sicher, dass es nicht noch schlimmer kommen konnte. Doch dann traf ich ihn. Und er hob meine Welt endgültig aus den Angeln. Was würdest du tun, wenn du jemanden triffst, der deine Welt vollkommen aus dem Gleichgewicht bringt? Was würdest du tun, wenn du dich plötzlich und aus heiterem Himmel in diese Person verliebst? Und was würdest du tun, wenn diese Liebe der Inbegriff von Falsch ist, wenn sie gegen jegliche Moral verstößt? Würdest du sie zulassen?
