Kurzbeschreibung
This book may set down the myth of June Cleaver once and for all. Chad Dell deftly details a 1950s revolution in the making: millions of women of all ages flocked to wrestling arenas across the country, drawn to a parade of glistening bodies, purple satin capes and characters such as Gorgeous George and Killer Kowalski while millions more roared their approval as they watched on television. Dell’s analysis of television broadcasts, media artifacts, fan club ephemera and interviews with wrestlers and their fans paints a new portrait of women in the 1950s who embraced the power of their passions.

Author's Homework
15. Januar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
Anticipated a fine read but was soon broken hearted with what I call his homework. Somewhere around 30 or more pages of credits etc., mind you the book is only 130 pages? The book gives new meaning to the phrase, "what a waste of money".

Enthralling history of the spectacle that was Pro Wrestling fandom
11. August 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
My great-grandmother was a HUGE fan of wrestling and I related to so much of this book because of her passion! There are still many folks that follow this entertainment form, but this is an enthralling history of the spectacle that was and is Pro Wrestling.
It's also a great examination and analysis of fandom during a period of growth for women in the US. Heaps of historical insight that are forgotten by many that lived during the 30s, 40s & 50s and may not understood by young people today
Great inside info into how women found common ground in a form of entertainment & used it to form a women's community. Helped women find public voices, including desires!
I would have loved seeing more images and fanzines! It would be a dynamite website!
