- Description
- De seksuele revolutie in de Hollywoodcinema heeft weinig met emancipatie te maken en heeft veeleer weg van een seksistische evolutie waarin de superieure status van mannen behouden blijft. Bij de witte actrice, wordt haar Afro-Amerikaanse collega hiermee geconfronteerd. Zelfs na het hoogtepunt van decadentie bleef de seksuele uitbuiting van zwarte actrices aan de orde.

- Hastie rethinks female authorship within film history by expanding the historical archive to include dollhouses, scrapbooks, memoirs, cookbooks and ephemera. Focusing on women who worked during the silent-film era, she describes how female stars, directors, and others appropriated personal or 'domestic' cultural forms to publicize their own achievements and to reflect on specific films and the broader film industry. Hastie pays particular attention to the actresses Colleen Moore (1900-1988) and Louise Brooks (1906-1985) and Hollywood’s first female director, Alice Guy-Blaché (1873-1968).
