These became daily chores for young girls, but many longed to be part of a larger, more glorious war effort. A new genre of children's books entered the market, written specifically with the young girls of the war period in mind. Through fiction, girls could catch spies, cross battlefields, man machine guns, and blow up bridges. These adventurous heroines built the framework for the feminist revolution, creating avenues of leadership for women and inspiring individualism and self-discovery. The work presented here analyzes the powerful response to such literature, how it sparked the engagement of real girls in the United States and Allied war effort, as well as how it reflects their contemporaries' awareness of girls' importance."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Children's stories, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Girls in literature. 650 0 $a Girls $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Children's literature in series $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Influence. 650 7 $a Children's literature in series. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01864690 650 7 $a Children's stories, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00856654 650 7 $a Girls $x Books and reading. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00942871 650 7 $a Girls in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00942914 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Lewis, Susan Ingalls, $d 1949- $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030037.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230804011235.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5DD79C16BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
