Rezensionen
Nielsen BookData
"The only problem with Robert J. Corber's Cold War Femme is that it gives so much pleasure on the way to providing a completely persuasive and significant history of the threat femininity posed to the sexually and politically paranoid denizens of the Cold War West.

But let that not distract anyone from the serious contribution Corber makes here to the history of twentieth-century sexuality."
