College Women In The Nuclear Age: Cultural Literacy and Female Identity, 1940-1960

by Babette Faehmel and Professor Babette Faehmel

Book Overview

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. College Women in the Nuclear Age 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.
