This chapter on popular culture visual representations of women focuses on posters and photographs, but primarily on film images of American women. Representations of traditional womanhood were quite evident in the war years, but so too were images of modern women, who while feminine, were also independent and resourceful. They appear in photographs in the workplace doing men’s work or in uniform marching in patriotic parades. In films, they spurred men to enlist and foiled the plots of enemy agents by extraordinary feats of physical daring and courage. Their agency offers a striking contrast to the notion of women as objects in need of masculine protection. These images stimulated the roiling debate in pre-war American over the “new woman” and contributed to a popular sense of the war being a dividing line that heralded the new woman of the postwar era.

Gendered Expectations

This chapter demonstrates that inscriptions of female images in Cairo’s late nineteenth-century nationalist press were part of a discursive economy shaping debates on how gender roles and gendered expectations should shift as Egyptians struggled for independence. The chapter investigates content and placement of ‘news from the street’ in al-Mu’ayyad in the 1890s, examining how these terse local reports – equivalent to faits divers in the French press – contributed to the construction of an ideal national political trajectory with representations of women serving as the primary example in shaping a politics of newspaper intervention on the national scene. In this, an emerging advocacy role of newspaper correspondents makes the newspaper a mediator in the construction of activist reader-citizens.
