Dr. Pulju is a historian of modern France, women and gender, and consumer culture. Her book, Women and Mass Consumer Society in Postwar France (Cambridge, 2011), places women and the family at the center of an investigation of social and cultural change following the Second World War. Her current interest is in how the family was shaped by postwar economic change inspired me to write a chapter on changing ideas about marriage. She is now beginning a project examining how these ideas affected women's lives and understandings of family and home in the French countryside.
