冷战初期美国女性状况研究

A Sstudy on the Status of American Women in the Eearly Cold Wwar

冷战初期美国女性在家庭遏制战略的影响下,不得不重新回归家庭,扮演贤妻良母的角色。在麦卡锡主义横行之时,美国妇女遭到迫害,主要是因为职业女性的崛起和妇女所倡导的性开放、性自由都对美国传统社会构成了巨大威胁。基于美苏冷战的需要,美国政府致力于民主社会的成功运作,进行了一系列社会改革,推动了美国女性自我意识的觉醒和第二波女权运动的兴起。

Under the influence of family containment strategy in the early cold war, American women had to return to their families and play the role of good wife and mother. When McCarthyism was rampant, American women were persecuted mainly because the rise of professional women and the sexual openness and freedom advocated by women posed a great threat to the traditional American society.Based on the needs of the US-Soviet cold war, the U.S government is committed to the successful operation of a democratic society and has carried out a series of social reforms, which have promoted the awakening of American women’s self-awareness and are conducive to the launching of the second wave of feminist movement.
