Now the Great Depression challenged women in their homes, as Mrs. America had to learn how to "make do" with less. And as men left for battle fronts, World War II propelled women to take their place in factories, becoming Rosie the Riveter. As girls and women of the 1930s and 1940s searched for their own identities, the media of the times tried to influence their paths. Magazine advertisements and mail-order catalogs showed women how to be both fashionable and frugal. Screwball comedies on the movie screen and the romantic soap operas on the radio portrayed women who took life lightly. But many women ignored these stereotypes and forged paths that women had never pursued before, in careers as pilots, foreign correspondents, musicians, and social activists.--From publisher description. 505 0 $a Prologue: Inauguration Day, March 4, 1933 -- Ain't we got fun? : amusements and diversions in hard times -- Mrs. America goes to the movies -- Fashion's passions -- Bylines and headlines : women who write news, women who make news -- The many faces of Rosie -- Epilogue: Mrs. America goes home. 650 0 $a Women $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women $z United States $x Social conditions $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women $z United States $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Nineteen thirties $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Nineteen forties $v Juvenile literature. 650 1 $a Women $x History. 650 1 $a Women $x Social conditions. 650 1 $a Popular culture $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 1 $a Nineteen thirties. 650 1 $a Nineteen forties. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0620/2006028984.html 941 $a 8 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20190814024128.0 952 $l DTPD413 $d 20180713021510.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20171116013159.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20160407014937.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202042407.0 952 $l JLPF081 $d 20150213092427.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l SQPC104 $d 20100108081122.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AAAB16462B1011DEAA7E7608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
