Recenzii
“An illuminating study of WWII propaganda directed at women and labor force participation. . . . Excellent reading for courses in women's studies, communications, and culture.”—CHOICE
“Honey's analysis of fiction and advertising in two popular magazines of the period follows the shifting image of women produced in response to advice and actual story ideas from government propaganda agencies, e.g., the Office of War Information. By untangling conflicting themes in these and earlier images, she moves beyond the conspiracy theory often implied in discussions of the ‘feminine mystique.’ This scholarly study is decidedly readable and concise.”—Library Journal
“Honey's fine study of wartime images of women underscores the importance of systematic research. In addition, her book demonstrates the value of scholarly sensitivity to issues of class as well as gender. The differences Honey finds are striking, her conclusions sobering.”—American Historical Review
“Honey has produced a provocative history. Creating Rosie the Riveter makes one think differently about how advertising and the division of labor can affect the image of women.”—Business History Review
“Honey's well-researched and well-written volume helps to demonstrate that continuity with the past and future, not change, was the dominant theme for women in the 1940s.”—D'Ann Campbell, Minerva
