This photo is used on the home page of my website, and is essentially the first thing you see. In my opinion, this photo embodies both what Child believed cooking to be about and her spirit. Child strongly believed in having fun in the kitchen, and lives by her teachings in this picture. While I got this photo from a secondary source, I categorized this as primary as it was taken during the time Child was alive. The photo itself was taken in 1986. Bettman, and Getty Images.

Original photo taken in 1970. What I find special about this picture is how Child is pictured doing what she does best - educating.

  • Copy of Julia Child; Born in Pasadena, Califo
    Julia Child; born in Pasadena, California as Julia Carolyn McWilliams August 15, 1912. Julia Child spent her early years in California where she grew up and attended school. Julia Child's first position out of college was with W. & J. Sloane as a copywriter in New York City. A few year in 1937 after her debut on Madison Avenue, Child's moved back to California, where she continued to write and work in advertising. Julia Child met her husband Paul Child, while serving with the OSS (Office of Strategic Services the forerunner of today's CIA) in 1944. Paul and Julia were married in 1946 and soon after he joined the US Foreign Service. Paul Child had a taste for fine food, probably due in part to living in Paris prior to meeting Julia. As a employee of the US Foreign Service, Paul was sent to Paris in 1948, where he introduced his new bride to sophisticated French Cuisine. Julia described her first meal in Rouen, France as "a culinary revelation". Paul's work at the embassy would keep him away from Julia most of the day, creating a void and desire to offset her boredom. So, Julia began to enrolled in many different classes. Eventually she enrolled in the famous Le Cordon Bleu cooking school. It was no easy task at first, being in a school of only men at the time, she had to learn to love cooking as much as she loved eating. Julia Child's graduation from Le Cordon Bleu created an opportunity for her to meet the two women that would become co-authors of her first cookbook "Mastering The Art of French Cooking"; Simon Beck and Louisette Bertholle.

BRIGGETTE APPROVED: Dissertation Committee: Major Professor Nedra Reynolds Stephanie West-Puckett Leslie Kealhofer-Kemp Nassar H. Zawia, DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2018 ABSTRACT The concept of metis reinserts the body and its intelligences into the ways in which rhetoric is understood, harnessed, and performed. Originating from the wisdom of Greek goddess Metis, the concept of metis is commonly understood as cunning intelligence that is deployed in order to escape an adversary, trick an opponent, or dupe its victim. When metic intelligence is read through the helping acts of Metis and her daughter, goddess Athena, however, an expanded version of its ways of operating begins to emerge.
