- Summary:
- In tracing the rise of the modern idea of the American 'new woman', Lynn Dumenil examines World War I's surprising impact on women and, in turn, women's impact on the war. Telling the stories of a diverse group of women, including African Americans, dissidents, pacifists, reformers and industrial workers, Dumenil analyses both the roadblocks and opportunities they faced.
