Debutante

Autorentext
Karal Ann Marling is the author of nineteen books, including As Seen on TV, George Washington Slept Here, and, most recently, Merry Christmas!

Klappentext
The social debut and its offshoots--the high school prom, the sorority presentation, beauty pageants--continue to emphasize celebrity, class, and community. But why does this peculiar tradition persist? In "Debutante," Marling demystifies debdom and the "long-term American hankering after the trappings of royalty."

Zusammenfassung
It is an institution that seems almost hopelessly out of date, a social relic of bygone times. The very word ""debutante"" evokes images of prim, poised beauty, expensive gowns, and sumptuous balls, all of which seem anachronistic in these post-women's liberation times. This work reveals, debdom in America is alive and well and ever evolving.
