- Description
- In this publication, the author explores how multiple forces - business strategy, advertising, race, sexuality, and cold war politics - cultivated an image of the stewardess that reflected America's vision of itself, from the wholesome girl-next-door of the 1940s to the cosmopolitan glamour girl of the Jet Age to the sexy playmate of the 1960s.
