Produktbeschreibung

In the popular imagination, American women during the time between the end of World War II and the 1960s - the era of the so-called 'feminine mystique' - were ultraconservative and passive. This takes a fresh look at these women, showing them actively searching for their place in the world while engaging with the larger intellectual and political movements of the times.
