Thesis (M.A.)--Utah State University, 2002.

To clarify what successful masculinity entailed during World War II, this thesis analyzed both the ideal male image projected through magazine fiction stories and appropriate manhood as understood by the men and women who lived through the war. This thesis argued that while significant alterations took place in the media representation of manhood from the 1930s to the end of the war, men and women did not base their own understanding of masculinity or their behavior on definitions created by propaganda. Letters written by and to servicemen, and fiction and nonfiction printed in the magazine <italic> Coronet</italic>, made up the bulk of the sources utilized for this study.

520 $a To clarify what successful masculinity entailed during World War II, this thesis analyzed both the ideal male image projected through magazine fiction stories and appropriate manhood as understood by the men and women who lived through the war. This thesis argued that while significant alterations took place in the media representation of manhood from the 1930s to the end of the war, men and women did not base their own understanding of masculinity or their behavior on definitions created by propaganda. Letters written by and to servicemen, and fiction and nonfiction printed in the magazine <italic> Coronet</italic>, made up the bulk of the sources utilized for this study.
520 $a Articles in <italic>Coronet</italic> clarified the ideal war-time male as depicted by propagandists, which included bravery, taciturnity, and an inability to express emotion. Women, in the letters they wrote to men serving in the military, demanded a different, more plausible, type of masculinity that focused on kindness, affection, playfulness, and involved parenting. Letters written by men to their wives, sweethearts, and families presented a distinctly different set of expectations than those of propagandists or women and allowed for a wide variety of acceptable masculine behaviors and attitudes. This thesis, by analyzing a specific time period from three different perspectives, contributed a broader understanding of the construction, interpretation, and implementation of masculinity during World War II.
