- Description
- Rachel Mosely studied the star persona and films of Audrey Hepburn. She also interviewed British women who admired Hepburn in the 1950s an 1960s, and more recently, in the 1990s. The theoretical framework of the book is derived from a number of disciplines including film studies, gender studies, and media and cultural studies. Mosely examines the historical specificity of discourses of femininity circulating around the star and her female fans. The study also attempts to reinstate the significance of class in understanding the specificity of investments made by women in relation to gender.
