A phalanx of sportswriters had pushed and shoved their way into this tiny, breeze-blocked space. In this most unlikely of settings, they had come to record the last moments of the most storied of all boxing careers. They had come to intrude upon the grief. "It's over," mumbled Ali. "It's over." The show that had entertained and wowed from Zaire to Dublin, from Hamburg to Manila, finally ended its twenty-one-year run, the last performance not so much off-Broadway, more amateur theatre in the boondocks. In Drama in the Bahamas, Dave Hannigan tells the occasionally poignant, often troubling, yet always entertaining story behind Ali's last bout. Through interviews with many of those involved, he discovers exactly how and why, a few weeks short of his fortieth birthday, a seriously diminished Ali stepped through the ropes one more time to get beaten up by Trevor Berbick. "Two billion people will be conscious of my fight," said Ali, trotting out the old braggadocio about an event so lacking in luster that a cow bell was pressed in to service to signal the start and end of each round. How had it come to this? Why was he still boxing? Hannigan answers those questions and many more, offering a unique and telling glimpse into the most fascinating sportsman of the twentieth century in the last, strange days of his fistic life.

In the 1950s and early 60s they went to colleges and universities, trained for professions and developed a life of the mind. They were also urged to embrace their femininity, to marry young, to devote themselves to husbands, children and communities. Could they do both? While they might be seen as a privileged group, they led the way for a multitude in the years ahead. They were quietly making the revolution that was to come. Did they have ?the best of all possible worlds?? Or were they caught in a double bind? Sylvia Plath?s letters tell of her delighted sense of life opening before her as a ?college girl?. Her poetry, however, tells of anguish, of reaching for distant goals. Drawing on interviews, surveys, reunion books, letters, biographical and autobiographical writing from both American and Australian women, this cultural history argues that the choices that faced educated women in that time led to the revolution of the late 1960s and 70s. Something had to give. There are lessons here for today?s young women, facing again conflicting expectations. Is it possible, they ask, to ?have it all?? 606 $aWomen$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen$zAustralia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFeminism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFeminism$zAustralia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen$xSocial conditions$y20th century 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 615 0$aFeminism$xHistory 615 0$aFeminism$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 676 $a305.40973 676 $a305.40973 700 $aMackinnon$b Alison$f1942-$0908002 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910418281803321 996 $aWomen, love, and learning$92076594 997 $aUNINA
