Book Synopsis
A great American institution; the bane of feminist ideology; a cornucopia of corn—few are neutral about the Miss America Pageant. Live from Atlantic City traces the pageant’s history from its birth as pseudo-event in 1920 through its emergence as American popular culture icon.
Booknews
Traces the pageant's history from its inception in 1920 through its emergence as American popular culture icon, not only chronicling events but presenting two opposing perspectives on the pageant: the pageant as celebration and idealization of American womanhood, and the pageant as sexist, exploitative anachronism. With 25 pages of b&w photographs. Paper edition (unseen), $12.95. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
