In u. S. Agriculture. And the title for the lecture today on invisible woman actually comes from a 1983 book, so ancient in your mind but a book that is over 30 years old by carolyn sex. And her book was Ground Breaking in that she was one of the first to examine the contributions of women to u. S. Agriculture and it was really this book that helped launch work by sociologists and other social scientists and rural historians to look at the contribution of women that had largely been invisible up to this time. So this is a nod to that groundbreaking book. So one of the Big Questions weve been asking in this class and posing since the first day that we meet is why should we study women in agriculture. Why not just study agriculture. Why should we take a gender and think about the different roles that men and women play. I mean why . Thats what weve been asking. That is one of the Big Questions, right. And so what weve been arguing, and what ive been arguing and other scholars argue, is t

Advertising in the 1950s, highlighting Dwight Eisenhowers political campaign. She examines what components made them successful. Her class is about an hour and 10 minutes. Nothing perhaps captures the popular memory of the 1950s like the slogan, i like ike. This idea, this pin that so many people wore around the campaign of 1952 and 1956, conveys a notion of nostalgia and simplicity. It really emphasizes this idea of the 1950s as this era of prosperity. And the American People were happy in suburban homes with their nuclear families. I like ike. Its so simple and it conveys that happiness. This idea, however, is a myth. And it is a political construction. The 1950s, in fact, it was a time wrought with racial discrimination, conflict, intense political and social pressures to conform to a suburban ideal that imposed gender hierarchies and mandated heterosexuality in the law. It was a time in which anti communism targeted the liberal reform impulses of the new deal and often anticommunis
1950s. Her class is about an hour and ten minutes. Nothing perhaps captures the popular memory of the 1950s like the slogan i like ike. This idea that this spin that so many people wore around the campaign of 1952 and 1956 conveys a notion of nostalgia and simplicity. It shows the 1950s as an era of prosperity where america was a world leader and American People were happy in their suburban homes. I like ike is simple. But this is a myth and a political construction. The 1950s in fact was a time full of racial discrimination. Conflict, intense political and social pressures to conform to a suburban ideal. And mandated heterosexuality in the law. It was a time when anticommunism targeted the liberal impulses of the new deal and anticommunists took away civil liberties. These are all different political pressures for enforcing certain ideals and resisting those that we will look at next week. But i like ike requests as a political construct shifted saengs attention away from those divisi
