HIST 1012 - IMAGES OF WOMEN IN FILM

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Films have provided us with our images of beauty and of star" quality. We have learned from them how Romantic heroines behave, have seen in them both role models and villains. It is important that we learn to analyze the message that films are sending us about women, rather than passively absorbing them. This course will explore how movies have portrayed women since the 1930's. Each class period will be devoted to a feature film, and discussion of it. Films will be drawn from America and Europe, and samplings will be from "women's films" and mainstream productions."
