| Our War Too by Margaret Paton-Walsh examines the years from 1935 to 1941 through the eyes of selected internationalist women who supported aid to the Allies as a way to forestall the direct involvement of the United States in the war against fascism. Paton-Walsh utilizes the records of four national women's organizations as well as the published writings of well-known journalists, including Freda Kirchwey and Dorothy Thompson, to show that there was a significant number of white, educated, middle-class American women who clearly recognized that the "United States had a responsibility and vested interest in an Allied victory" (p. 6). |
