Kelly Ricciardi Colvin's Gender and French Identity after the Second World War, 1944-1954 calls that potent element into question. By analyzing a range of sources, including women's magazines, trials, memoirs, and spy novels, this book explores the ways in which culture was used to limit the power of the female vote. It exposes a wide network of constructed behavioral norms that supported a conservative vision of French identity. Taken together, they depicted men as virile Resistors for French democracy and history, and women as solely domestic support. Indeed Colvin shows that women's access to the vote emerged alongside an explosion of cultural messages that encouraged them to retreat into the home, to find mates, to have `millions of beautiful babies', in the words of de Gaulle, and not to challenge patriarchy in any way. This is a vital study for understanding the nature of postwar France and women's history in 20th-century Europe. 650 0 $a Women $z France $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Sex role $z France $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Femininity $z France $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z France $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Women $z France. 651 0 $a France $x Civilization $y 20th century. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191204012230.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=550B6EFEC38A11E7B100357297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
