The 1970s was a crucial decade for women directors in Hollywood as it marked a period of significant increase in their employment statistics compared to previous decades. Between the early 1930s and up until the mid-1960s, there were only two women filmmakers in Hollywood: Dorothy Arnzer and Ida Lupino. Smukler's research shows that between 1966-1980 there were an estimated fifteen women making feature films in Hollywood and in the adjacent independent film communities. Liberating Hollywood proposes several important points of investigation: How did the employment of a creative population, paralyzed by forty years of institutionalized sexism, slowly begin to increase? How did the political struggles of the civil rights and feminist movements within the United States impact Hollywood? Who were the fifteen women, the films they made and the production communities in which they worked? By answering these questions, Liberating Hollywood will play a key role in making complete the subject of American film history by highlighting the standout, yet unknown, legacy of women directors during the 1960s and 1970s"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women motion picture producers and directors $z United States. 650 0 $a Women in the motion picture industry $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Feminist films $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Feminism and motion pictures. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305042924.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=61E8593826B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
