arts music and photography,education and reference,foreign language study and reference,history and criticism,humor and entertainment,movies,performing arts,politics and social sciences,popular culture,social sciences, When film experts talk about the "woman's picture," a Hollywood genre that flourished in the '30s, '40s, and '50s, they often squabble over whether these films were liberating or constraining. Jeanine Basinger argues that they were both at the same time. She maintains that they freed their female protagonists to break social bonds while also punishing any women who seemed too free and feisty. This lively and exceedingly thorough book covers every major aspect of this fascinating film genre, including the roles female stars were expected to play, the fabulous clothes they wore, the social behaviors they were condemned to adopt, the ways they responded to and were treated by men, and the ideals of femininity Hollywood producers tried to impress upon their audiences. --Raphael Shargel.

Social Science, A Woman's View, Now, Voyager, Stella Dallas, Leaver Her to Heaven, Imitation of Life, Mildred Pierce, Gilda these are only a few of the hundreds of women's films that poured out of Hollywood during the thirties, forties, and fifties. The films were widely disparate in subject, sentiment, and technique, they nonetheless shared one dual purpose: to provide the audience (of women, primarily) with temporary liberation into a screen dreamof romance, sexuality, luxury, suffering, or even wickednessand then send it home reminded of, reassured by, and resigned to the fact that no matter what else she might do, a woman's most important job wasto be a woman. Now, with boundless knowledge and infectious enthusiasm, Jeanine Basinger illuminates the various surprising and subversive ways in which women's films delivered their message. Basinger examines dozens of films, exploring the seemingly intractable contradictions at the convoluted heart of the woman's genreamong them, the dilemma of the strong and glamorous woman who cedes her power when she feels it threatening her personal happiness, and the self-abnegating woman whose selflessness is not always as noble as it appears. Basinger looks at the stars who played these women and helps us understand the qualitiesthe right off-screen personae, the right on-screen attitudes, the right facesthat made them personify the woman's film and equipped them to make believable drama or comedy out of the crackpot plots, the conflicting ideas, and the exaggerations of real behavior that characterize these movies. In each of the films the author discusseswhether melodrama, screwball comedy, musical, film noir, western, or biopica woman occupies the center of her particular universe. Her storyin its endless variations of rags to riches, boy meets girl, battle of the sexes, mother love, doomed romanceinevitably sends a highly potent mixed message: Yes, you women belong in your proper place (that is, content with the Big Three of the women's film worldmen, marriage, and motherhood), but meanwhile, and paradoxically, see what fun, glamour, and power you can enjoy along the way. A Woman's View deepens our understanding of the times and circumstances and attitudes out of which these movies were created. eBook.
