In 'Cold War women' Helen Laville recovers their significance by examining the activities and ambitions of American women's organisations in the long period of uneasy peace. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter the Second World War, women around the globe claimed that to avoid more death and devastation in the Atomic Age, they must promote internationalism and strive together for a peaceful future. However, as the Cold War escalated, American women abandoned the internationalist outlook of their foreign sisters in favour of solidarity with their national brothers. Far from being advocates of internationalism, many of these women became active agents for Americanism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis fascinating study will be invaluable to those in the field of gender and women's history, cultural studies, and American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helen Laville\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719080444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719080449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.49d","brand":"Helen Laville","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053100855551,"sku":"9780719080449","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f7d1628-6f2e-45b5-9c8c-5c01c31a3b93.jpg?v=1685022411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cold-war-women-helen-laville-9780719080449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
