| Margaret Paton-Walsh's book is more limited in scope than its subtitle suggests; it is, in fact, an analysis of some American women's public interventionist stance during the years from 1935 to 1941. Paton-Walsh particularly focuses on journalists Dorothy Thompson and Freda Kirchwey, Elizabeth Cutter Morrow (the president of Smith College who publicly challenged the isolationist stance of her son-in-law, Charles Lindbergh), and a handful of organizations such as the League of Women Voters, the National Council of Jewish Women, and the Committee to Defend America. The sources used are almost exclusively articles or organizational pronouncements, leaving the reader wondering about the internal lives of these women and organizations. |
