Description: "In Un-American Womanhood, Nielsen brilliantly illustrates the conflict over gender ideologies that split America in the 1920s. . . . Nielsen uncovered amazing evidence of a massive right wing conspiracy against the women's movement in the 1920s, supported by the American Legion and a War Department determined to prevent further reductions in military spending. In this time when a president jails citizens without charge or trial and political appointees secure their power by spreading unreasonable fear and suspicion, few histories are as timely as Un-American Womanhood. Nielsen's slim volume is a remarkable achievement." -- NWSA Journal
