Four women had preceded Luce in the role of US chiefs of mission: Ruth Bryan Owen (Denmark, 1933–36), Florence Jaffray Harriman (Norway, 1937–41), Perle Mesta (Luxembourg, 1949–53), and Eugenie Anderson (Denmark, 1949–53). This flexibility, often going beyond Luce's will or expectations, helped counteract the most virulently anti-American representatives of Italian Marxism. Reflecting Washington's renewed flexibility, she also dealt with political and cultural leaders who nurtured autonomy and mild criticism of the United States.
In political as well as intellectual circles, she did not exclusively favour Italy's unconditional supporters of the United States.
Luce also critically reassessed the effects of US mass culture in Italy. This archival-based article shows how Luce's frontal attack on communist power, while often counterproductive, was also balanced by her discerning use of diplomacy, which deeply influenced the interplay between Italy's domestic and foreign policies. Connected to the inner circle of ‘psychological warriors’ in the Eisenhower administration, she was also a catalyst for action from Washington. Ambassador Clare Boothe Luce (Italy, 1953–56) exemplified American arrogance and intrusiveness in allies' domestic affairs.
