This book looks at how the classic television series fits into the
cultural milieu of mid-century America. I Love Lucy incorporates
key themes of the 1950s American political scene and classic
American values of family, social mobility, community,
individualism and work, keeping in mind that "Luck" as Machiavelli
said "is the arbiter of half of what we do." As the beloved
American TV queen, Lucy Ricardo is a psychologically complicated
character, conflicted between her role as a 1950s housewife and her
wish to be a star. She is an icon of social mobility, going from a
small New York City apartment to a country house in a swanky
suburb, and an example of the "transitional" woman who wants to
have it all. Is she a feminist? Is she a conformist? Does she
prefer the country to the city? Whether she is working on the
chocolate factory assembly line, baking bread, or achieving the
American dream, Lucy is always "speeding it up!"
