The 1950s saw the emergence of grassroots movements like the American Public Relations Forum, led by women, aimed at combating communism and socialism. Concurrently, the New Left, represented by groups such as Women Strike for Peace, opposed issues like the Vietnam War and systemic injustices. Both movements employed maternalist rhetoric to recruit and mobilize support, effectively challenging traditional gender roles and gaining political attention during a time when women's societal roles were largely confined to the home.

Na década de 1950, a Nova Direita conservadora surgiu para combater o comunismo nos EUA, com grupos liderados por mulheres, como o APRF. Paralelamente, a Nova Esquerda, representada pelo Women Strike for Peace, lutou contra a corrida armamentista e o racismo, utilizando retórica maternalista para mobilizar e influenciar a política.

In den 1950er Jahren erlebte die konservative Neue Rechte einen Aufschwung, angeführt von Frauen wie im American Public Relations Forum. Parallel dazu entstand die Neue Linke, die gegen Krieg und Diskriminierung kämpfte. Gruppen wie Women Strike for Peace nutzten mütterliche Rhetorik, um politische Aufmerksamkeit zu gewinnen und Mitglieder zu mobilisieren.
