Product Description
From Library Journal
In this earnest and well-researched book, Melosh examines the visual politics of two New Deal art programs. The Treasury Section of Fine Arts funded murals and sculpture in public buildings and is often confused with the larger Federal Arts Project of the Work Projects Adminstration (WPA). Both programs created a set of cultural images rooted in the paternal liberalism of the times, and Melosh examines dozens of artworks as subtle or overt conveyors of sexual and racial symbolism. With its small illustrations, extensive notes, and somewhat spare analysis, this book will be of most interest to academics.

Review
I know of no other study that gives us a greater sense of grassroots response to the projects of the New Deal. . . . This is an exceedingly well-written, impressively researched, persuasively argued book with many original and stimulating things to say. (Lawrence L. Levine )
Deeply researched and fascinating to read, Engendering Culture proves Barbara Melosh to be one of the most talented and imaginative feminist historians at work today. (Nancy F. Cott )
