Queen For A Decade? Discussion Q's (first post didn't work)

1) Minority groups, mainly African Americans and women in America, utilized their identity during the late thirties through WWII, in what ways did the White patriarchal ideal resist or change due to the protests and boycotts?

2) How did advertising and marketing work to reinforce the prescribed societal roles (especially on women) during WWII and post WWII? What implications did this create for future movements (Civil Rights, 2nd wave of Feminism) to destabilize patriarchal societal gender roles?

3) Did the consumer identity for citizens aid in creating or adding to an American national identity? If so, in what ways?

4) In what ways did the GI bill impact American post-war national identity, and how did it affect progress of an egalitarian American society?

5) How did the debate over extensions of price control divide down gender and racial lines? How were each side and their opponents depicted, and how does this relate to the destabilization of women's civic authority since the onset of WWII (pp. 134-135)?
