A woman's view : how Hollywood spoke to women, 1930-1960
Basinger, Jeanine1994
Book
Basinger examines Hollywood's "women's films"- their individual stars and stories and the common threads that tie them together. The book looks into how, although the films may have contained liberating themes, they were all eventually resigned to a very fixed idea of "The Way Woman Ought To Be".
