At home. Cold Ward Canada: mobilizing women for a new war -- The home front becomes the front line: fallout shelter madness -- In the name of children: the disarmament movement -- Abroad.

Amid this global insecurity, many women participated in civil defense or joined the disarmament movement as means to protect their families from the consequences of nuclear war. To help children affected by conflicts in Europe and Asia, women also organized foreign relief and international adoptions. In Canada, women pursued different paths to peace and security. From all walks of life, and from all parts of the country, they dedicated themselves to finding ways to survive the hottest periods of the Cold War. What united these women was their shared concern for children's survival amid Cold War fears and dangers. Acting on their identities as Canadian citizens and mothers, they characterized with their activism the genuine interest many women had in protecting children's health and safety. In addition, their activities offered them a legitimate space to operate in the traditionally male realms of defense and diplomacy. Their efforts had a direct impact on the lives of children in Canada and abroad and influenced changes in Canada's education curriculum, immigration laws, welfare practices, defense policy, and international relations. Cold War Comforts offers insight into how women employed maternalism, nationalism, and internationalism in their work, and examines shifting constructions of family and gender in Cold War Canada. It will appeal to scholars of history, child and family studies, and social policy."--Publisher's website. 410 0$aStudies in childhood and family in Canada. 606 $aCold War 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCold War$xSocial aspects$zCanada 606 $aChildren$xLegal status, laws, etc$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aChildren$xLegal status, laws, etc$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aCold War. 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aCold War$xSocial aspects 615 0$aChildren$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory 615 0$aChildren$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory 676 $a971.063 700 $aBrookfield$b Tarah$01814153 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971280203321 996 $aCold War comforts$94367813 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00930nam 2200289 450 001 996681782403316 005 20251010092318.0 010 $a978-88-552-2030-9 100 $a20251010d2020----km y0itay5003 ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $ay 00 y 200 1 $a<> costruzione delle Alpi$eimmagini e scenari del pittoresco alpino (1773-1914)$fAntonio De Rossi 210 $aRoma$cDonzelli$d2020 215 $aXXVIII, 426 p., [44] carte di tav.$cill.$d22 cm 225 2 $aSaggi$iStoria e scienze sociali 410 0$aSaggi$iStoria e scienze sociali 606 0 $aPaesaggio$xValorizzazione$xAlpi occidentali$z1773-1914$2BNCF 676 $a914.51 700 1$aDE ROSSI,$bAntonio$011317 801 0$aIT$bcba$gREICAT 912 $a996681782403316 951 $aXII.2.C. 2925$b292345 L.M.$cXII.2.C.$d573143 959 $aBK 969 $aUMA 996 $aCostruzione delle Alpi$91075740 997 $aUNISA
