America’s Changing Icons examines nationalism and gendered national roles via the lens of popular culture, to explore the discursive and at times chaotic ways American society interprets itself. This multi layered examination delves into the iconography and role of American women, and their evolution, from World War I to the present.
America’s Changing Icons is a discursive examination of the female patriotic icon in the United States. This creative and entertaining work examines her use and decline, particularly in the 20th century, with a particular focus on popular culture icons like Lady Columbia, Rosie the Riveter, and Wonder Woman. These fictional creations, used with advertisements; letters; and literature of the eras work together to craft a multi-layered and dynamic portrait of cultural politics, tides, and perceptions about American women, life, and place.
