Maddox ___________________________ Thomas A. Tweed ___________________________ Timothy B. Tyson An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2014 Copyright by Mandy Ellene McMichael 2014 Abstract Christian engagement with beauty contests shifted dramatically between the initial Miss America pageant in 1921 and its 90 th anniversary in 2011. This dissertation explores how and why many Christians found the organization an institution worthy of partnership with the church. It examines three aspects of Christian involvement in the contest: the long history of beauty pageants, the persistent emphasis on individual physical attractiveness, and the idea of witness in southern evangelical culture. It argues that after 1965, at least two factors enabled the unlikely marriage of Christians and the Miss America Organization: the perceived threat of second-wave feminism and evangelicalism’s increasing desire to engage culture.

  • Our Various States of Beauty
    Our Various States of BeAuty By Watsuki HarrinGTON WHY WE LIKE IT: A classroom assignment that turns out to be something more. We like the way the author wittily contrasts geographical states with the psychological and emotional states of 52 women in a fictional beauty pageant. At the same time, the Misses are depersonalized by an innovative format that simply lists the wryly observed and fascinating trivia in their cameos like so much dependent property—the point being, within beauty lies its opposite. The voice is appropriately impartial, cleverly ironic and a little bit foxy. We were intrigued as soon as we started reading but when we learned how the author enlisted tek to design the structure of this hybrid, we liked it even more. We don’t know how her prof graded this assignment, but in our classroom we give it… Five stars. (Spacing and format is author’s own.) Our Various States of Beauty 1. Miss Wyoming thinks that since she had to look up the word pustule that makes her one of the attractive ones, which is bizarre, because she’s had to look up other things like “statute of limitations for drug trafficking,” and “how to get a free abortion in a state that doesn’t take your insurance.” 2. Miss Michigan wants to open a bakery with a gym in the back so she has a steady stream of clients. She’s unsure about the name but thinks “It’s a Bakery and a Gym” is a pretty good contender. 3. Miss Oklahoma knows that even though a woman wants to look sexy, it doesn’t mean she wants to have sex.
