Gender and the Race for Space

About Gender and the Race for Space

This book argues that the American astronaut image was informed by early Cold War ideals of masculinity that helped mold a distinctly American (anti-communist) masculinity, which appeared-on the surface anyway-to resolve not only an American "crisis of masculinity" but helped win the Cold War on an ideological and popular level.
