The explosion of print culture that occurred in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century activated the widespread use of print media to promote social and political activism. Exploring this phenomenon, the essays in Modern Print Activism in the United States focus on specific groups, individuals, and causes that relied on print as a vehicle for activism. They also take up the variety of print forms in which calls for activism have appeared, including fiction, editorials, letters to the editor, graphic satire, and non-periodical media such as pamphlets and calendars. As the contributors show, activists have used print media in a range of ways, not only in expected applications such as calls for boycotts and protests, but also for less expected aims such as the creation of networks among readers and to the legitimization of their causes. At a time when the golden age of print appears to be ending, Modern Print Activism in the United States argues that print activism should be studied as a specifically modernist phenomenon and poses questions related to the efficacy of print as a vehicle for social and political change.

Betty Boyd Caroli's engrossing and informative First Ladies is both a captivating read and an essential resource for anyone interested in the role of America's First Ladies. This expanded and updated fourth edition includes Laura Bush's tenure, Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential bid, and an in-depth look at Michelle Obama, one of the most charismatic and appealing First Ladies in recent history. Covering all forty-one women from Martha Washington to Michelle Obama and including the daughters, daughters-in-law, and sisters of presidents who sometimes served as First Ladies, Caroli explores each woman's background, marriage, and accomplishments and failures in office. This remarkably diverse lot included Abigail Adams, whose "remember the ladies" became a twentieth-century feminist refrain; Jane Pierce, who prayed her husband would lose the election; Helen Taft, who insisted on living in the White House, although her husband would have preferred a judgeship; Eleanor Roosevelt, who epitomized the politically involved First Lady; and Pat Nixon, who perfected what some have called "the robot image." They ranged in age from early 20s to late 60s; some received superb educations for their time, while others had little or no schooling. Including the courageous and adventurous, the emotionally unstable, the ambitious, and the reserved, these women often did not fit the traditional expectations of a presidential helpmate. Here then is an engaging portrait of how each First Lady changed the role and how the role changed in response to American culture. These women left remarkably complete records, and their stories offer us a window through which to view not only this particular sorority of women, but also American women in general. "Impressive...Caroli's profiles and observations of American first ladies and their relationship to the media are intelligent and perceptive." --Philadelphia Inquirer

I wrote this book of wonderful wisdom on workplace safety for three primary reasons: 1. The complete furnishing of personal-protection principles and practices 2. The common work of the workplace 3. The complex instruction of groups of workers in the workplace These three primary reasons (as I strongly believe) serve as real keys to achieving the noble goal of a safe workplace: • To unite workers in the belief that they can be safe... • To unite workers in the wisdom of workplace safety... • To bring workers to a mature state of complete oneness in purpose... • To bring workers to the point of being “wise workers”... Though the wonderful wisdom of this book reserves the real potential to become universal, it is primarily targeted at steel mills—some of the most dangerous places in the world, to work. I firmly believe wisdom of workplace safety is the Master Key to producing wise workers. Wise workers are the first principle to being safe workers. Safe workers are the secret to a safe workplace. A safe workplace is, without a doubt, the noblest of goals that can be set and striven toward by any steel mill. —L. A. Jones

This engaging book will interest anyone who's curious about the pitfalls that eaters faced at the turn of the twentieth century.
