Gender and the Race for Space: Masculinity and the American Astronaut, 1957-1983 - Anthem Intercultural Transfer Studies
Erinn McComb
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.
