Who's Who Among the Women of San Antonio and Southwest Texas


Book Description

Excerpt from Who's Who Among the Women of San Antonio and Southwest Texas: A Blue Book and Directory and Year Book of the Women's Organizations The personnel includes not only women of San Antonio but workers in Southwest Texas and many women who have formerly lived in this city and still hold membership in some of the organizations. San Antonio is familiarly called the mother-in-law of the army and an effort has been made to list the girls who have married in the army, giving the reghent to which their husbands belong. Many girls who were once well known San Antonio belles are now married, living in other cities. It was impossible to make a complete list of these and doubtless many have been omitted who should have been named.

Mission Underway


Book Description

The history of the study of popular culture in American academic since its (re)introduction in 1967 is filled with misunderstanding and opposition. From the first, proponents of the study of this major portion of american culture made clear that they were interested in making popular culture a supplement to the usual courses in such fields as literature, sociology, history, philosophy, and the other humanities and social sciences; nobody proposed that study of popular culture replace the other disciplines, but many suggested that it was time to reexamine the accepted courses and see if they were still viable. Opposition to the status quo always causes anxiety and oppostion, but when the issues are clarified, often oppoosition and anxiety melt away, as they are now doing.
