WWW.FLWOMAN.COM PUBLISHER’S NOTE Dear Readers, Welcome to the October/November 2013 issue of Finger Lakes Woman, which is a new magazine produced by, for and about women in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Women have a long-standing and important tradition in the region, and they continue to have a significant connection with the Finger Lakes. For it was here in Seneca Falls, where women’s rights were born, grew stronger as an issue to embrace, and became part of our lives the 21st Century. From the first trailblazing women of the Finger Lakes, striving to achieve equality, to the present, where many women business owners and community leaders forge new directions for the Finger Lakes region. As today’s women of the Finger Lakes continue to contribute mightily to the economic, educational, social, community and spiritual life of our region, it is this spirit that is captured within Finger Lakes Woman. It is these women – as well as men – that we want to highlight on the pages of Finger Lakes Woman. We hope that you will enjoy reading this month’s Featured Article, “Thrive to Survive Helps Adults with Cancer,” which describes the ongoing work by the Thrive to Survive non-profit organization in Geneva. TTS empowers adults affected by cancer through innovative programs and services. Their mission is to ensure Geneva area adults to know of available resources, that their daily needs are met, emotional well-being maintained and financial burdens reduced so they can get busy thriving. Throughout the year, Thrive to Survive organizes several giving programs, speaker events and personal grants with the goal of easing the stress of cancer treatments. October is an important month for Thrive to Survive in the Geneva area. Our goal is to educate, inform, and empower our readers by sharing valuable information that we all can use in our daily lives. We hope that you will be pleased with the content of Finger Lakes Woman and look forward to an exciting year in the Finger Lakes.

Cloud, Supervisor Joshua Gunn Barry Brummett Sharon J. Hardesty Christine Williams DISCIPLINING MOMMY: RHETORICS OF REPRODUCTION IN CONTEMPORARY MATERNITY CULTURE by Ashley N. Mack, B.A.; B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August, 2013 Dedication To Tiffany—for being an awesome lady, thinker, worker, “true” sister, daughter, and mother. Acknowledgements My family has something of a “curse”: Multiple generations of women have been single, working mothers. Therefore, the social pressures, expectations and norms of motherhood have always permeated my experiences of reproduction and labor. Everything I do has been built on the backs of the women in my family—so it is important that I thank them first and foremost. I would be remised if I did not also specifically thank my big sister, Tiffany, for sharing her experiences as a mother with me. Hearing her stories inspired me to look closer at rhetorics of maternity and this project would not exist if she were not brave enough to speak up about issues that produce shame and fear for many moms. Dana Cloud, my advisor, is a shining light at the end of the many dark tunnels that academic work can produce.

  • Manhood in the Age of Aquarius | Chapter 5
    Manhood in the Age of Aquarius Chapter 5 Tim Hodgdon Chapter 5 "We Here Work as Hard as We Can": The Farm's Sexual Division of Labor In the spring of 1975, Patricia Mitchell, her preschool son, and her lover, Don 1 Lapidus, arrived at the entrance to The Farm, hoping to join. They had read about the burgeoning commune in its book-length recruitment brochure, Hey, Beatnik, and after much discussion, had packed their possessions in their car. At the front gate, a man with a clipboard described the hippie village as a monastery of householder yogis where Stephen Gaskin's teachings guided daily labor and family life. Gaskin's students, he said, agreed to live together nonviolently, to consume a strictly vegan diet, and to hold all money and property in common. After some time at the gate, the three were admitted as "soakers," soaking up the new life that was The Farm.1 A member of the gate crew drove the new soakers to their host households. The 2 Mitchell-Lapidus trio were welcomed into a structure consisting of a large army tent (recall the frame–and–canvas structures in the television comedy M*A*S*H) flanked by two Caravan-vintage school buses, where twelve people made their home. For the duration of their time as soakers, the family slept on a couch in the tent.2 They arrived in time to help with preparations for dinner. Patricia joined women in the kitchen area of the tent, washing potatoes from the previous year's harvest.3 Over dinner, their hosts reminisced about The Farm's beginnings.

  • Pop Culture Politics Student Life and the Like Summer 2009
    DECONSTRUCTIONPop Culture Politics Student Life and the like Summer 2009 A Few Parting Words... Our last issue of Deconstruction. Ever. As freshmen four years ago, we never thought this day would arrive. The end comes with a melancholic jumble of both sadness and relief. As Publicity Director and Cultural Editor (as well as Writ- ers/ Copy Editors/ Artists/ Readers/ Supporters/ Overall DEcon Lovers) it is hard to believe that we will never again be a part of such an eclectic publication with a staff just as eclectic and wonderful. While the poignancy of the final is- sue is overwhelming, we are relieved that we will never again have to scramble to pull articles together, pull a cover out of thin air or have to see the inside of the Morris Library Mac Lab… Relieved that we are able to graduate on May 30th and leave the future of DEcon in capable hands. This final issue of DEcon almost didn’t happen. The overwhelming stress of classes, exams, jobs etc. really gripped us all, however, we knew that ending our time here at UD without a final issue just wasn’t right. Thanks to a select few, we were able to pull this compilation together and present it to you. We want to thank you all for being loyal readers and supporters these past couple of years and hope that you will continue to read, contribute and enjoy Deconstruction after we are gone. Consider this issue as toast to the future, though foggy and unpredictable it may seem. As daunting as it sounds, we all will be moving on, leaving the Blue Hen nest Delaware has so kindly provided for us and bravely taking flight into the real world.

  • Women's Experiences Choosing Midwifery and Home Birth
    TRUST AND TRANSFORMATION: WOMEN’S EXPERIENCES CHOOSING MIDWIFERY AND HOME BIRTH IN ONTARIO, CANADA by Shawna Healey DiFilippo A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Shawna Healey DiFilippo 2014 TRUST AND TRANSFORMATION: WOMEN’S EXPERIENCES CHOOSING MIDWIFERY AND HOME BIRTH IN ONTARIO, CANADA Shawna Healey DiFilippo Master of Arts Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto 2014 Abstract Using a critical feminist approach, and with attention to participants’ broad life experiences, this qualitative study explores seven women’s challenging, transformative decisions to give birth at home with midwives in Ontario, Canada. To make this choice, the women had to draw on their own strength, take responsibility for their decisions, and resist the dominant view of birth as inherently risky, and of women’s birth experiences as unimportant and incompatible with more narrowly defined good outcomes. As participants became informed decision-makers, resisted medicalized birth, and envisioned more woman-centred possibilities, they were empowered as active agents in their births. They were able to trust that with the care of their midwives, and the support of their partners or close family, they could have satisfying and safe births at home. ii Acknowledgments My sincere thanks to: the women who volunteered for this study, for welcoming me into their homes and workplaces, and for sharing their time and personal experiences with me; midwifery practices and their clients for allowing me to attend their prenatal classes and home birth information nights; my thesis supervisor and professor, Dr.
