The Dialectic of Martha Stewart

We happen to adore Martha Stewart. Perhaps it’s her insatiable appetite for knowledge, her preferred shade of green, or simply the fact that she allocates parcels of time to things like dipping the handles of her tools in enamel (for a variety of excellent reasons that we don’t have time to get into here). But while we can name all of Stewart’s houses and and at least half of her pets (oh, that Paw Paw!), our age-matched peers tend to demonize the domestic diva.
