THE AMERICAN TREND OF FEMALE PUBIC HAIR REMOVAL: EXPLORING A Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia December 2009 POPULAR CULTURE BODY MODIFICATION By BETH A. WEIGLE Major Professor: José Blanco F. Committee: Patricia Hunt-Hurst Katalin Medvedev
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I feel very fortunate to have had family, friends, and mentors‟ support. It played a very important role in accomplishing this goal. Three years ago José encouraged my interest in a topic that, to us, seemed very obvious and under researched – he encouraged a very important step in my life, which was applying to graduate school. I‟m very thankful that Dr. Blanco, Dr. Hunt-Hurst, and Dr. Medvedev were as enthusiastic about this study as I was and still am. I look forward to hopefully working with you in the future. I‟m also very thankful for my academic freedom. It would be a sad world indeed without it. I feel very lucky to have amazing, open-minded parents. I also feel lucky to have had Dr. Hunt-Hurst as a department head. She has made my college experience so enjoyable, I‟m very sad to be leaving the third floor of Dawson Hall. I would also like to thank my sisters Maddie and Chloe, my brother Trevor, my cat Frank, Nico, Hayley, Pnut, Shannon, David, and Stephanie for being so great. iv
