A New Relation to the World During the Early Cold War

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

American Girls and Global Responsibility brings together Cold War culture studies, girls’ studies, and the history of gender and militarization to shed new light on how age and gender work together to form categories of citizenship. Jennifer Helgren shows the particular ways that girls’ identities and roles were configured, thus shaping their sense of responsibilities as citizens.
