Course Description
Explores the development of thinking about women, gender, and feminism after 1900 through examination of documentary and fiction film. Also encourages thinking about the evolution of feminist thought in the twentieth century and about how film has engaged with, represented, supported, disseminated, and critiqued those developing ideas. Readings in feminist theory of the period may be put in dialogue with a wide range of films from silents to Hollywood blockbusters to independents and documentaries made with explicitly feminist purposes.
