Bøger af Jane Marcellus

Provides an historical examination of how popular magazines portrayed wage-earning women during the critical interwar years, 1918-1941. Although women had been entering the workplace for some time, their contributions to World War I, the passage of women's suffrage, postwar business expansion, and changing social mores put the cultural conversation over women's employment into high gear.

Offering more than a discussion of the show itself, this book offers historical insight for thinking about serious issues that "modern" working women continue to face today: balancing their work and personal lives, competing with other women, and controlling their own bodies and reproductive choices.
