Book
After the Phallus
Glass argues that it seems undeniable that the current preoccupations with the penis in American culture, often cloaked in goofball humor and satirical savvy, indicates some larger shift in the protocols of American masculinity and patriarchal authority. Through a close examination of Bill and Hillary Clinton's marriage, Glass attempts to explain the apparent paradox of the disappearance of the authoritarian male with the ever more rigidly defined separation of the sexes based on notions of masculinity and femininity.
Journal Article
Who was Jacqueline Kennedy?
\"Private and bookish, Jackie Kennedy found herself thrust into the world spotlight as the young and glamorous wife of the President John F. Kennedy. As First Lady she restored the once neglected rooms of the White House to their former glory, and through her charm and elegance became a style icon whose influence is still felt even today\"-- Provided by publisher.

Reading Jackie : her autobiography in books
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis never wrote a memoir, but she told her life story and revealed herself in intimate ways through the nearly 100 books she brought into print during the last two decades of her life as an editor at Viking and Doubleday. Based on archives and interviews with Jackie's authors, colleagues, and friends, this book mines this significant period of her life to reveal both the serious and the mischievous woman underneath the glamorous public image. Many Americans regarded Jackie as the paragon of grace, but few knew her as the woman sitting on her office floor laying out illustrations, or flying to California to persuade Michael Jackson to write his autobiography. This book provides a behind the scenes look at Jackie at work: how she commissioned books and nurtured authors, as well as how she helped to shape stories that spoke to her strongly.--From publisher description.
