Recenzii
'This impressive study fills an important gap in the history of post-World War II economic and social recovery by expertly analyzing the contribution of women's consumption and consumer advocacy to the 'trentes glorieuses' of French economic growth between 1945 and 1975. In this fascinating story, Pulju connects data on the expansion of credit and the production and purchase of household appliances to gender and class differences. She has brilliantly blended the analysis of quantitative data with the views of economists and planners, sociologists' surveys, popular novels, and articles from women's magazines, among other sources.' Laura Levine Frader, Northeastern University
'Like all the best works of cultural history, Women and Mass Consumer Society in Postwar France has implications for economic, political, and social history. It will be of interest to anyone who is interested in postwar France and, more generally, for anyone interested in consumerism and the European economy in the aftermath of the Second World War.' Richard Vinen, King's College London
'This book transforms our understanding of France's economic recovery following World War II. Pulju persuasively argues that women and domestic consumption were key to the development of mass consumer society - a totally different orientation for economic growth that both the government of the Fourth Republic and women themselves espoused.' Whitney Walton, Purdue University
'The book is engagingly written and will appeal to a wide range of readers, including, but not limited to students and scholars of post-war France. The epilogue, which situates the study in the context of current debates on the crisis and debt and consumer credit, opens a comparative discussion of class and class identities in contemporary France and the US, and broadens the book's import and appeal.' Gill Allwood, European History Quarterly
