  • The Defining Generation
    The Defining Generation By Doug and Pam Sterner "Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. "I hold that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical." Thomas Jefferson In a letter to James Madison regarding Shay's Rebellion This electronic book is available for free download and printing from www.homeofheroes.com. You may print and distribute in quantity for all non-profit, educational purposes. Copyright 2018 by Legal Help for Veterans, PLLC ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Introduction Since the birth of our nation in 1776, no single generation of Americans has been spared the responsibility of defending freedom by force of arms. In 1958 the first small American unit visited the land known as Vietnam. It wasn't until 1975 that the last troops assisted the Vietnamese evacuation process. Over 9,800,000 US troops served in Vietnam and more than 58,000 were lost. Many died after the war from wounds, the effects of Agent Orange and PTSD. Some suffer to this day. Most have gone on to become productive citizens. It has always been popular throughout our Nation’s short history to take wars and somehow, for posterity sake, condense them down into some catchy title and memorable synopsis. World War I was known as "The War to End All Wars". It wasn't! Twenty-three years after the Doughboys returned home a new generation of Americans was confronted with the likes of Normandy, Guadalcanal, and Iwo Jima.

  • The Death of Postfeminism : Oprah and the Riot Grrrls Talk Back By
    The death of postfeminism : Oprah and the Riot Grrrls talk back by Cathy Sue Copenhagen A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Montana State University © Copyright by Cathy Sue Copenhagen (2002) Abstract: This paper addresses the ways feminism operates in two female literary communities: the televised Oprah Winfrey talk show and book club and the Riot Grrrl zine movement. Both communities are analyzed as ideological responses of women and girls to consumerism, media conglomeration, mainstream appropriation of movements, and postmodern "postfeminist" cultural fragmentation. The far-reaching "Oprah" effect on modem publishing is critiqued, as well as the controversies and contradictions of the effect. Oprah is analyzed as a divided text operating in a late capitalist culture with third wave feminist tactics. The Riot Grrrl movement is discussed as the potential beginning of a fourth wave of feminism. The Grrrls redefine feminism and femininity in their music and writings in zines. The two sites are important to study as they are mainly populated by under represented segments of "postfeminist" society: middle aged women and young girls.

I am Sandra Bernard, Chair of the weekend's events. Today, before a sell-out crowd, we will induct 19 remarkable women into the Hall of Fame. Now, those of you who are history buffs may know that the idea to form a Hall to honor, in perpetuity, the contributions to society of American women started, like so many other good things in Seneca Falls have, over tea. And just like the tea party that spawned the Women's Rights Convention, the concept of a National Women's Hall of Fame was an idea whose time has come. http://www.usdoj.gov/archive/ag/speeches/2000/10700agsenecafalls.htm (1 of 11) [4/20/2009 1:10:27 PM] 10-07-00: PRESS CONFERENCE AT THE NATIONAL WOMEN'S HALL...NET RENO ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES NEW YORK Our plans for the morning are to tell you a bit more about the mission, the moment and the meaning, and then to introduce you to the inductees.
