In tracing the surge of the modern idea of the American "new woman", Lynn Dumenil examines World Warfare I's surprising effect on women and, in turn, women's effect on the war. Revealing the stories of a diverse band of women, including African Us citizens, dissidents, pacifists, reformers, and industrial staff, Dumenil analyzes both the roadblocks and opportunities they experienced. She richly explores the ways that women helped the United States mobilize for the greatest military endeavor in the nation's background. Dumenil shows how women activists staked their say to devoted citizenship by framing their battle are home-front volunteers, abroad nurses, manufacturer laborers, and support workers as "the next line of protection". However in assessing the impact of these efforts on traditional gender roles, Dumenil locates that portrayals of these new modern women didn't always match with real and long lasting change. Extensively researched and pulling after popular culture options as well as archival materials, The Second Line of Defense offers a comprehensive review of American women and battle and casings them in the broader framework of the sociable, cultural, and politics background of the age.
