Melanie Bell maps the work of these women decade-by-decade, examining their far-ranging economic and creative contributions against the backdrop of the discrimination that constrained their careers. Her use of oral histories and trade union records presents a vivid counter-narrative to film history, one that focuses not only on women in a male-dominated business, but on the innumerable types of physical and emotional labor required to make a motion picture. Bell's feminist analysis looks at women's jobs in film at important historical junctures while situating the work in the context of changing expectations around women and gender roles. Illuminating and astute, this book is a first-of-its-kind examination of the unsung women whose invisible work brought British filmmaking to the screen"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Women's work in film production : concepts, materials, and methods -- Organizing work : gender and the film trade union -- The 1930s : modernizing production -- The 1940s : wartime opportunities -- The 1950s : rebuilding Britain -- The 1960s : the new pioneers -- The 1970s and 1980s : working with feminism -- Legacies and new beginnings. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Women in the motion picture industry $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion pictures and women $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Sex role $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women $x Employment $z Great Britain. 650 7 $a Women in the motion picture industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178040 650 7 $a Motion picture industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027150 650 7 $a Motion pictures and women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027425 650 7 $a Sex role. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114598 650 7 $a Women $x Employment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176715 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bell, Melanie, 1967- $t Movie workers $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, 2021. $z 9780252052774 $w (DLC) 2020053101 830 0 $a Women and film history international. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024324.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1E76B53EBFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
