Analyzing and challenging the film industry's infamous treatment of women
The #MeToo revelations put a twenty-first-century stamp on the age-old story of women's mistreatment in Hollywood. Karen McNally edits a collection focused on examining and revising film history in the aftermath of the women's stories, past and present, that have come to light.
The collection begins with essays on the interplay between reality and imagination in narratives and representations of women's experiences of unequal treatment. In Part 2, contributors discuss how the gendered attitudes of the media's stories enable inequality in Hollywood and look at the forces that arise whenever women resist these media assaults. The next section addresses the structures that built the inequalities and mistreatment while Part 4 revisits established narratives to challenge, renew, and expand upon our understanding of film history through women's stories. Essays in the final section address the combination of inequality and resistance that defines women's experiences in Hollywood.
Piercing and astute, Women in Hollywood's Dream Factory confronts our perception of Hollywood as a mythological land of dreams.
Contributors: Alicia Byrnes, Anna M. Dempsey, Harriet Fletcher, Amanda Konkle, Tamar Jeffers McDonald, Kerry McElroy, Adrienne L. McLean, Karen McNally, Donna Peberdy, Melanie Piper, Victoria K. Pistivsek, Sarah Polley, Ina C. Seethaler, Gabrielle Stecher, and Jennifer Voss
