Cold War in a Hot Kitchen: A memoir of mid-century Melbourne by Margaret Ann Spence

The 1950s. Boring?

Hardly.

An influx of European refugees, stirrings of feminism, and the threat of a third world war were remaking Australia. As the Cold War chilled, inside a Melbourne house a young girl was caught in the crossfire of domestic conflict amid the clashing political and social values of her autocratic grand-mother, her self-denying mother, and her glamorous aunt: three women who presented very different models of womanhood.
