Her parents named her Billie Jane Lee Lorraine after godmother Billie Holiday, her mother Jane (formerly a big band singer), her mother’s ex-roommate Peggy Lee, and the song ‘Sweet Lorraine’. She is the daughter of the late jazz writer Leonard Feather. The Feathers moved to L.A. when Lorraine was 12; at 18, after two years as a theater arts major at L.A. City College, she returned to New York to pursue an acting career. Some touring, off-Broadway work and the Broadway show ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ followed, interspersed with countless waitressing jobs up and down Manhattan’s West Side. Frequently out of work, and discouraged by more than one restaurateur from pursuing a career in the food service industry, Lorraine decided to try singing. She began working with various jazz and Top 40 bands in and around New York. She sang backup for Petula Clark and Grand Funk Railroad, and finally put her own act together, eventually moving back to L.A., where she sang at local jazz clubs. Soon after, she joined producer Richard Perry’s vocal trio Full Swing and recorded three albums with the group. Lorraine wrote lyrics for most of the songs on these releases, some for classic pieces like Duke Ellington’s “Rockin’ in Rhythm,” the Yellowjackets’ ‘Ballad of the Whale’ and Horace Henderson’s “Big John’s Special” (later heard in the movie ‘Swing Shift’).

Female Characters as Role Models in Young Adult Literature Julia Stamper CHP Senior Thesis 2012 Introduction I have been an avid reader for my entire life. As a child, I read constantly, always searching for longer and longer books to keep me entertained. I also had a fairly high reading level for my age, which sparked my early interest in young adult literature. Since books for teens were generally longer and more complex than ones meant for my own age group, I started reaching for young adult literature in elementary school. That early interest never really faded, and I continued reading books for teens all throughout elementary, middle, and then high school.

It's truly amazing to watch a group of little girls look at a picture o This was the big hit of storytime last week! But he doesn't break up with her. Mia is SO young and so obviously not ready for sex. The text is wonderful and the illustrations are marvelous as well. A princess is generally bad at following rules of protocol for her station in life. Everything is going well until lunchtime, when Lana Weinberger, Mia's arch-enemy, tells Mia that college boys expect their girlfriends to Do It with them. Lilly wants Mia her to run for student counsel president and nominates her to run against Lana. And that is totally because of Mia being whining all the time for everything. Discussion: Princesses try to be good and kind always and help those around them. Keyword: pink lemonade, pink popcorn. I need to clean out my TBR guys!

  • Royal Subjects: Feminist Perspectives on Diary Writing and the Diary Form in Meg Cabot's the Princess Diaries Series
    Department of English Royal Subjects: Feminist Perspectives on Diary Writing and the Diary Form in Meg Cabot’s The Princess Diaries Series Hanna Liljeqvist Master’s thesis Literature Spring 2016 Supervisor: Marina Ludwigs Abstract Meg Cabot’s young adult (YA) novel series The Princess Diaries (2000-2009) is one of many modern-day examples of attempts to redefine what Western society considers the classic princess narrative: the story of a beautiful princess passively waiting for Prince Charming. As critics such as Kay Stone and Sarah Rothschild emphasize, the fictional princess is traditionally linked to notions of ideal femininity which, in turn, makes princess stories interesting texts from a feminist perspective. Rothschild notes a surge in YA princess novels in recent years, with YA writers such as Cabot aiming to challenge the traditional image of the princess as a passive feminine stereotype in their re-workings of the princess story. Previous feminist research on The Princess Diaries series celebrates the main character Mia as a symbol of third wave feminism and as such, a positive role model for Cabot’s predominantly young, female readers. Mia’s characteristic Dr Martens boots are frequently cited as an example of how greatly Mia differs from her princess predecessors. However, these critics ignore important changes in Mia’s personality over the course of the series. By the end of the series, the Dr Martens-wearing heroine introduced in the first book has replaced her combat boots with high heels. In my thesis, I will argue that Mia’s transformation in terms of appearance and preoccupation with mainstream fashion, from quirky outsider to stereotype girly girl, complicates the idea of The Princess Diaries series as feminist texts.
