Nevertheless, the United States has yet to entrust a senior foreign policy job, outside of the United Nations, to a woman. Beneath these statistics lurk central myths that Jeffreys-Jones cogently identifies and describes: the "Iron Lady"--Too masculine; the "lover of peace" - too "pink"; the weak or the promiscuous. These are to name only a few. With an eye to the feminist foreign policy leaders of the future, the author traces the successes and failures of collectivities such as Women Strike for Peace and individuals who were influential in international politics since World War I, including Alice Paul, Jane Addams, Jeannette Rankin, Dorothy Detzer, Eleanor Roosevelt, Margaret Chase Smith, Helen Gahagan Douglas, Bella Abzug, Margaret Thatcher, and many others. 330 8 $aThese women often found ways to employ the myths to their own and to their country's benefit, and more recently have had the freedom to defy the stereotypes altogether. 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen diplomats$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen$xHistory$xPolitical activity$y20th century$zUnited States 606 $aWomen diplomats$xHistory$y20th century$zUnited States 606 $aRegions & Countries - Americas$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 606 $aUnited States - General$2HILCC 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y20th century 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aWomen diplomats$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xHistory$xPolitical activity 615 0$aWomen diplomats$xHistory 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Americas 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 615 7$aUnited States - General 676 $a327.73 700 $aJeffreys-Jones$b Rhodri$0983147 702 $aJeffreys-Jones$b Rhodri 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910345112703321 996 $aChanging differences$92243931 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
