Daily Life in the United States, 1940-1959 : Shifting Worlds

Examine the everyday lives of ordinary Americans from the 1940s and 1950s and discover how very different the two decades were. World War II affected Americans and the way they behaved, not only in the 1940s, but also in the years that followed when the depression that preceded the war was replaced with an economic boom. Explore how women's roles and lives changed during these two very distinct decades, how politics and political decisions impacted all walks of life, and what the advent of growing technology, much of it developed during the war, meant to the general population.Kaledin, Eugenia is the author of 'Daily Life in the United States, 1940-1959 : Shifting Worlds', published 2002 under ISBN 9780313326691 and ISBN 031332669X.
