Product Overview
Cold War Women examines how the internationalist ambitions of American womens organizations in the years 1945 to 1960 gave way to other concerns. In the emerging Cold War, American women abandoned their relationship with their foreign sisters in favor of solidarity with their national brothers. Far from being advocates of internationalism, American women had become agents for Americanism. Confronting a propaganda campaign from Soviet-backed womens organizations, American women tried to export a vision of the American way of life and of womens proper place within it.
