| Summary |
"A discursive examination of the female patriotic icon in the United States. This creative and entertaining work examines her use and decline, particularly in the twentieth century, with a specific focus on popular culture icons like Lady Columbia, Rosie the Riveter, and Wonder Woman. These fictional creations, combined with advertisements, letters, and literature of the eras, work together to craft a multilayered and dynamic portrait of cultural politics, tides, and perceptions about American women, life, and place"-- Provided by publisher. |
