- Description
- The author examines the production and reception of so called 'problem films', for example movies about race and miscegenation, beginning with 1947’s Gentleman’s Agreement and Pinky (1949).

She describes how these developments reflected and helped popularize the concept of the liberal citizen in postwar America. She argues that the reception of projected identities offer new perspectives on contemporary identity politics, from feminism to the gay rights movement.

- The author explores what it means to make history by focussing on the fifteenth-century writer Christine de Pizan, the writings of nineteenth-century suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton and twentieth-century novelist Virginia Woolf. Ulrich tells stories about women warriors from different times and places. She contrasts Woolf’s imagined story about Shakespeare’s sister with biographies of actual women who were Shakespeare’s contemporaries. She examines how Stanton’s encounter with a runaway slave would change if the slave was at the center in stead of the white suffragist.
