    Andrea FriedmanARTICLEJournal of American History2018

    Emily Skidmore builds an absorbing and sometimes astonishing analysis of the queerness of the American past on the foundation of press stories about the “discovery” of the “true sex” of individuals who were assigned female at birth but chose to live as men. Using online newspaper databases and traditional archives to explore local and national responses to these moments of revelation—often occasioned by death, illness, or crime—Skidmore reveals t…

  • The Smearing of Joe McCarthy

    Open AccessAndrea FriedmanCHAPTERWhen Private Talk Goes Public2014

    Despite historians' best efforts to disassociate the anti-communist purges of the post-World War II era from one individual's extreme behavior, the early Cold War years continue to be known as the McCarthy era, and Senator Joseph McCarthy remains a symbol—perhaps the paramount symbol—of irrationality and illegitimacy in American politics. His fall from grace in 1954 likewise denotes the return to moral order and political sanity. McCarthy did not…

  • Sadists and Sissies

    Open AccessAndrea FriedmanARTICLEGender & History2003Cited by: 3

    Examination of anti‐obscenity campaigns in the post‐war years suggests that the ideals of masculinity mandated by cold war politics troubled Americans in ways more complex than historians have recognised. Psychiatrists, politicians and clubwomen focused on the graphic depiction of an aggressive, even violent, male heterosexuality in comic books and erotica to suggest that American men had become too hard and undomesticated, unable to sustain the …
