HIST 4067 - Women in Film

3 hours

This course examines the often-overlooked but remarkable contributions of women to American cinema. Focusing on various film genres per semester, students will analyze women’s presence in front of - as well as behind - the camera. Viewing and analyzing women in this context will reflect cultural and societal impacts: conformity, feminism, gender, class, and race issues present in the movies of the 20th and 21st centuries. May be repeated with instructor permission.
