About the book
This is a comprehensive study of the role of women in Hollywood cinema. Set out chronologically, it describes the emergence of the vamp and the flapper in films of the 1920s and proceeds to describe the changing roles of women through to the seventies. A well-researched study that provides a stepping stone into the field of early feminist film theories. A deliciously descriptive and informative book that is completely accessible to both film students and cinephiles.
Subjects: Women in motion pictures
