The Contributions of Martha Hill to American Dance and Dance Education, 1900-1995
by Beth McPherson

Elizabeth McPherson’s book The Contributions of Martha Hill to American Dance and Dance Education, 1900-1995 has just been released by The Edwin Mellen Press. With a foreword by Joseph W. Polisi, President of The Juilliard School, this book looks at the life of Martha Hill, the prominent educator and founding director of three pivotal degree-granting college dance programs or departments (New York University, Bennington College, and Juilliard) and two summer dance festivals (The Bennington School of the Dance and Connecticut College School of the Dance/American Dance Festival). First-hand narratives by Linda Kent, Laura Glenn, Dian Dong, and Daniel Lewis offer an in-depth perspective on Hill’s life-long mentoring of her students. The narratives are prefaced by a short history of dance in higher education and biographical material on Hill. They are followed by an analysis of her powerful legacy to the dance field. Hill toiled endlessly to promote dance, but rarely garnered notice for herself. She is the “secret in the middle” of twentieth century American dance and dance education.

D-Girl Turns Moms: Leaving Hollywood Behind for the Best Job Ever
by Donna Rae Weiser

A bit about “D-Girl” by Donna Rae Weiser:

As a development executive, I used to work five days a week in an office late in the evening and then come home and read scripts late into the night. And my weekends, that time also was spent reading scripts because the work load for anyone working their way up in the crazy world of script development knows that you give and give and give, but there will still be another script you need to read. I worked constantly and loved it, but I also knew that when I became a mom, that I could not keep the job I had or else I would never see my children. So I left it all behind and became a stay-at-home mom to my two boys, twelve months apart in age, and it was so much harder than I ever imagined that I wrote my frustrations down. Five years later, my scribbles formed into a book "D-Girl Turns Mom: Leaving Hollywood Behind for the Best Job Ever" by Donna Rae Weiser.

On sale April 28th, it can be found online just about everywhere (Amazon, Borders, Targe). Check it out. I am so proud of this book and know it will empower you as a stay-at-home mom to stick with it.
