John H. Sullivan's 1969 American University PhD in international relations traces US-Indonesian relations c. 1963-68 and the emergence of the New Order, covering the anti-American period, the 30 September Movement and its aftermath, and regional, communist-bloc and economic relations. It is diplomatic and political history. Gerwani is mentioned only once, as the PKI's 'woman's movement' with 1.7 million members, listed among PKI front organisations in chapter II (pp. 120-121).
