The Sirens of Wartime Radio and How the American Print Media
Presented Them: The Stories, the Intrigue, and the Evolving
Coverage of Their Legacies analyzes press coverage from the
American print media that helped construct popular images of Tokyo
Rose, Axis Sally, Seoul City Sue, and Hanoi Hannah. Coverage of
these "radio sirens" essentially constructed and defined these
women's legacies for an American audience. Scott A. Morton examines
newspaper and magazine coverage from the periods of each
broadcaster, and in doing so, analyzes four primary research
inquires. Morton discusses how American newspapers and magazines
portrayed each woman to American readers, how the American mass
media's portrayal of them evolved overtime from the mid-1940s
through the present, the ways in which the American mass media
responded to these five female propagandists-either directly or
indirectly-through print, radio, and visual media, and how the
legacy of each woman has been kept alive in popular culture in the
decades since their last broadcasts. Morton argues that for the
most part, coverage of the sirens was borne out of fascination and
aversion, fascination stemming from the novelty of women acting as
high-profile agents of enemy propaganda organizations and aversion
stemming from the potential power they had over U.S. servicemen and
the fact that they were viewed as traitors to the U.S. Scholars of
media studies, history, and international relations will find this
book particularly useful.
