From Beatniks to Sputnik and from Princess Grace to Peyton Place,
this book illuminates the female half of the U.S. population as
they entered a "brave new world" that revolutionized women's lives.
After World War II, the United States was the strongest, most
powerful nation in the world. Life was safe and secure-but many
women were unhappy with their lives. What was going on behind the
closed doors of America's "picture-perfect" houses? This volume
includes chapters on the domestic, economic, intellectual,
material, political, recreational, and religious lives of the
average American woman after World War II. Chapters examine topics
such as the entertainment industry's evolving concept of womanhood;
Supreme Court decisions; the shifting idea of women and careers;
advertising; rural, urban, and suburban life; issues women of color
faced; and child rearing and other domestic responsibilities. A
timeline of important events and glossary help to round out the
text, along with further readings and a bibliography to point
readers to additional resources for their research. Ideal for
students in high school and college, this volume provides an
important look at the revolutionary transformation of women's lives
in the decades following World War II. Spotlights individuals of
diverse backgrounds throughout Includes a helpful introductory
overview for each section that places it in historical context
Presents cultural and historical highlights impacting women in an
easy-to-follow timeline Underscores terms familiar to postwar
American women nationwide in a glossary Leads readers toward other
sources to broaden their understanding in bibliographical entries
Contains academic references and suggestions for further reading
