Constructing the Idea of Feminine in Films

Abstract: A 6 page paper which examines how these feminist films, both released in 1933, reworked conventional cinematic textual strategies in order to visually construct for viewers what it means to be feminine. Specifically considered are how the issues of work, motherhood, feminine desire, and social positioning are depicted and how narrative form is used to convey these ideas. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
