- Description
- This book examines how the internationalist activities and ambitions of American women’s organizations in the years 1945 to 1960 gave way to other concerns. In the emerging Cold War, American women abandoned their relationship with women from other countries in favour of solidarity with American men. Far from being advocates of internationalism, American women had become agents for Americanism. Confronting a propaganda campaign from Soviet-backed women’s organizations, American women tried to export a vision of the American way of life and of women’s proper place within it.

- Description
- Through memoir, interviews and historical overview the author, a founding member of Grailville, chronicles the evolution of the Grail in the United States from the 1940s to 1995. She deals with the European origins of the movement in 1921 in The Netherlands and its adaptation to the American scene, and its work through the early 1960s. She describes the breakup of the original Grail model under the impact of Vatican II, and the emergence of new projects and adaptation to change.
