- Description
- This book is about the reshaping of women's lives, loves and dreams since 1950. In this period Walt Disney's film Cinderella gave expression to popular ideas of romance, marriage was a major determinant of female life chances and teenage girls dreamed of Mr Right and happy endings. It ends with the success of Disney's Frozen (2013), a film with relevance to very different times. The book shows how women's expectations and emotional landscapes have shifted since 1950, considering among others the way women's changing life experiences have been mirrored in new expectations about marriage, intimacy and family life and the way new forms of independence through education and work altered women's life ambitions.

- Description
- By analyzing the negotiation of femininities and masculinities within contemporary Hollywood cinema and by focusing on the largely neglected intersections between postfeminism and queer theory this volume presents diverse interrogations of popular cinema. The chapters in this collection position contemporary commercial production as a space where female empowerment is both celebrated and undermined, and signal the necessity of further debate surrounding the formation of gender identity in postmillennial Hollywood cinema.

- Description
- In this book White explores the intersection of feminism and film in the twenty-first century by highlighting the work of a new generation of women directors from around the world: Samira and Hana Makhmalbaf, Nadine Labaki, Zero Chou, Marleen Gorris, Jasmila Zbanic, Marjane Satrapi and Claudia Llosa, among others. The emergence of a globalized network of film festivals has enabled these directors to make and circulate films that are changing the aesthetics and politics of art house cinema and challenging feminist genealogies. White explores how women filmmakers are both implicated in and critique gendered concepts of authorship, taste, genre, national identity, and human right

- Description
- Images of female labor have powered a new movement in the European cinema of the twenty-first-century. The author analyzes how these films about female employers, from care givers to executives, capture the tension between feminist advances and their suitability by capitalism in a time of enduring transformation. Looking at various European nations, the author sees a focus on labor adapted to the different kinds of capitalism of a continent and influenced by concepts in second-wave feminism.
