Requests:  0 Summary:  For its superstars--Phyllis George, Vanessa Williams, Gretchen Carlson-- and for those who never became household names, Miss America was a platform of women to exercise their ambitions and learn brutal lessons about the culture of fame. Spirited and revelatory, There She Was charts the evolution of the American women, from the Miss America catapulted into advocacy after she was exposed as a survivor of domestic violence to the one who used her crown to launch a congressional campaign; from a 1930s winner who ran away on the night of her crowing to a present-day rock guitarist carving out her place in the world. Argetsinger dissects the scandals and financial turmoil that have repeatedly threatened to kill the pageant--and highlights the unexpected sisterhood of Miss Americas fighting to keep it alive. -- Front cover jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 791.66 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.66 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.66 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList
