Examines the social and historical significance of women's
contributions to American silent Film comedy. For many people the
term ""silent comedy"" conjures up images of Charlie Chaplin's
Little Tramp, Buster Keaton's Stoneface, or Harold Lloyd hanging
precariously from the side of a skyscraper. Even people who have
never seen a silent film can recognize these comedians at a glance.
But what about the female comedians? Gale Henry, Louise Fazenda,
Colleen Moore, Constance Talmadge-these and numerous others were
wildly popular during the silent fi lm era, appearing in countless
motion pictures and earning top salaries, and yet their names have
been almost entirely forgotten. As a consequence, recovering their
history is all the more compelling given that they laid the
foundation for generations of funny women, from Lucille Ball to
Carol Burnett to Tina Fey. These women constitute an essential and
neglected sector of film history, reflecting a turning point in
women's social and political history. Their talent and brave spirit
continues to be felt today, and Comic Venus: Women and Comedy in
American Silent Film seeks to provide a better understanding of
women's experiences in the early twentieth century and to better
understand and appreciate the unruly and boundary-breaking women
who have followed. The diversity and breadth of archival materials
explored in Comic Venus illuminate the social and historical period
of comediennes and silent film. It is the first book to explore the
overlooked contributions made by comediennes in American silent fi
lm. Those with an interest in fi lm and representations of
femininity in comedy will be fascinated by the analytical
connections and thoroughly researched histories of these women and
their groundbreaking movements in comedy and stage.

Their talent and brave spirit continues to be felt today, and Comic
Venus: Women and Comedy in American Silent Film seeks to provide a
better understanding of women's experiences in the early twentieth
century, and an appreciation of the unruly and boundary-breaking
women who have followed. Kristen Anderson Wagner begins with the
question of why historically women weren't seen as funny in the
public and male eye, a question that persists even today. Wagner
delves into the idea of women's "delicate sensibilities," which
presumably prevented them from being funny, and traces ideas about
feminine beauty and what a woman should express versus what these
comedic women did express. Comic Venus brings readers to understand
comediennes and their impact on silent-era cinema, as well as their
lasting influence on later generations of funny women.
Labor studies scholars and working-class historians have long
worked at the crossroads of academia and activism. The essays in
this collection examine the challenges and opportunities for
engaged scholarship in the United States and abroad. A diverse
roster of contributors discuss how participation in current labor
and social struggles guides their campus and community organizing,
public history initiatives, teaching, mentoring, and other
activities. They also explore the role of research and scholarship
in social change, while acknowledging that intellectual labor
complements but never replaces collective action and movement
building. Contributors: Kristen Anderson, Daniel E. Atkinson, James
R. Barrett, Susan Roth Breitzer, Susan Chandler, Sam Davies, Dennis
Deslippe, Eric Fure-Slocum, Colin Gordon, Michael Innis-Jimenez,
Stephanie Luce, Joseph A. McCartin, John W. McKerley, Matthew M.
Mettler, Stephen Meyer, David Montgomery, Kim E. Nielsen, Peter
Rachleff, Ralph Scharnau, Jennifer Sherer, Shelton Stromquist,
Emily E. LB. Twarog, and John Williams-Searle.
State of Giving is at once an authoritative overview of Oregon's
toughest challenges and a much-needed manifesto for greater civic
engagement. Chaille and Anderson highlight the crucial role that
nonprofits play as pillars of Oregon's civic structure through
their engaging profiles of the charismatic civic leaders,
grassroots organizations, donors, and volunteers who are working to
combat some of Oregon's most enduring problems, including:
Education Inequity Environmental Conservation Social Inequity and
Discrimination Hunger and Homelessness The Urban/Rural Divide Arts,
Culture, and Heritage Funding Traversing the state from a remote
Great Basin field station to an intercultural center in north
Portland, State of Giving shows the many faces of public engagement
in people like education activist Ron Herndon, volunteer historians
Gwen Carr and Willie Richardson, and Wallowa County philanthropist
and rancher Doug McDaniel. Their stories reveal that there are ways
in which we all-regardless of wealth, location, age, or
background-can give back to our communities. In addition to
introducing Oregon's key areas of need and demonstrating diverse
pathways into civic engagement, the book provides extensive
resources for prospective volunteers and donors. Rousing,
accessible, and enlivened by photographs of its people and places,
State of Giving is an essential reference for anyone interested in
building a better Oregon, starting today.
