Hanson, Mary E. Go! Fight! Win! Cheerleading in American Culture. Bowling Green: Bowling Green State University Popular Press, 1995.
This book addresses many aspects of cheerleading. It informs us with the history of cheerleading, how it began and how it has evolved. This book also provides its audience with information on how cheerleading is linked with the media and advertising and also the symbols, meanings, and how people have come to interpret "the cheerleader".
Mary Ellen Hanson is the author of this book. She has been a cheerleader herself in the past and is now employed at the University of New Mexico. Through her experiences in cheerleading and the history of its past, she has conducted research in this area.
The purpose for publishing her book was for her audience to be informed of what cheerleading really is. She provides information covering history to its symbolism and meaning, and to its purpose in advertising. In addition, she has shown evidence from its evolvement how it can be associated as a sport.
This book was a very useful source to me. It provided lots of information that I could use to support my argument. This book covered lots of materials that went further into my topic.

Your blog was very clear, and easy to understand. You did a great job in summarizing your first paragraph which set us up to know all about your topic and what you would be analyzing. Also, I liked how you had background information on the author. It is good to know she has been a cheerleader and can relate to your topic. You covered everything necessary for an annotated bibliography. Awesome job!
