Citizens or Consumers? British Conservative Political Propaganda toward Women in the Two World Wars

Abstract

The question of identity plays a key role in politics. How modern political parties identify their political supporters and foes reveals much about their core beliefs. During times of significant international upheaval, such as the era of globalization in the twentieth century, the sense of identity portrayed by political parties could be especially fluid. An investigation into the construction of identities in political propaganda by the British Conservative Party will illustrate this point and prove to be particularly valuable to this book.KeywordsFree TradeConservative PartyBritish WomanBritish EconomyPostal BallotThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
