Lipstick and high heels : war, gender and popular culture / [by] Emily Spencer; produced for the Canadian Defence Academy Press by 17 Wing Winnipeg Publishing Office, WPO30285.D2-208/2-2007E

Cover image

Within the western historiography of gender, war and society, there continues to be considerable debate about how the world wars of the twentieth century may have affected gendered relationships. Lipstick and High Heels contributes to this debate by examining if and how the Second World War may have affected the images of women and men in Chatelaine magazine. This vivid account, which covers three formative decades of Canadian history through the lens of the modern Canadian woman, bears witness to the richness of our past and to the complexity of the relationships between war, gender and popular culture.
