American women in the fifties have been portrayed as passive housewives, denied access to the international political stage. But a new book seeks to challenge this idea and shows they were far from inactive.
A strong commitment to peace in the wake of the Second World War saw them forging relationships with women all over the world. But did they just end up exporting the American Way ?
Helen Laville, author of Cold War Women explains why she thinks these women became agents for Americanism.
