An amazing collection of articles from the 1940-60's showing just how oppressed women were and how magazine media reinforced those oppressions. Great as a reference book, including magazine articles and advertisements. This book paints a clearer picture of the culture women in America were in, and the propaganda to get them back in the homes after their brief taste of freedom during WWII.
