Abstract

Many books have been written about the male spies of the early Cold War, but the women have notreceived nearly as much attention. In part, this is because journalists at the time reduced these womento gender stereotypes and portrayed them as neurotic old maids or svelte young seductresses. Thisarticle examines the cases of Elizabeth Bentley, Priscilla Hiss, Ethel Rosenberg, and Judith Coplon. Itanalyzes the gender constructions used in the media coverage of these women, and argues thatexploring these constructions is crucial to understanding the significance of these cases.
