abstract:This article examines how Britain's Imperial War Museum (IWM) acts as a pivotal location in which links between the popular memory of Second World War food rationing and gender roles are projected to the British public in twenty-first-century contexts. An analysis of the IWM's 2010–2011 "Ministry of Food" Exhibition and the 2013–2015 "Horrible Histories Rotten Rationing Big Picture Show" reveals that the multifaceted, gendered narratives present in the two representations of food rationing were not seamless histories. Rather, the article finds that factors of audiences' expectations and museum staff's thinking about wartime food and gender roles shaped the displays, which sometimes converged with and at other times diverged from wartime ideals and realities.

abstract:By 1910 lumber companies had stripped the Great Lakes states of their white pines, leaving behind a forty-million-acre expanse that came to be known as the "cutover." Business interests, university scientists, and state governments worked aggressively to redevelop this land for crop agriculture. A key challenge was ridding the land of stumps. Especially after the First World War, explosives were touted as a ready means of converting cutover scrub land to crop acreage, thus building instant equity for the farmer. This study focuses on Wisconsin, whose drive for land clearing was the most far-reaching. From 1919 to 1928 the University of Wisconsin College of Agriculture distributed nearly nineteen million pounds of war-surplus explosives to farmers. Michigan, Minnesota, and states in the American South and West did likewise, for a nationwide total exceeding sixty-three million pounds. A massive public relations campaign urged plowmen to clear as many acres as possible, and journalists at all levels signed on to promote cutover farming. However, explosives often proved dangerous in untrained hands, and the hoped-for agricultural bonanza never materialized. As crop prices slumped in the 1920s, submarginal acres were taken out of production, and the ethos of "land clearing" was replaced with one of multifaceted "land use."

Th ey also, however, felt the Breaks’ “visionary inchantment [sic]” just as we did (159). Moulton’s words deepened the Breaks’ sense of place through off ering remembrance of things past. With such temporal awareness came fuller satisfaction— and thus Moulton helped me hear the richness of the Sirens’ song.
