Abstract (en)

Study of gender representations in American culture of the 1930s through an iconographical examination of paintings, sculptures, and plays produced under two New Deal government-funded programs: the Treasury Section of Fine Arts (1934-1943), which commissioned murals, paintings, and sculptures to adorn public buildings; and the Federal Theatre Project (1935-1939).
