The Woman s Film of the 1940s: Gender, Narrative, and History

The Womans Film of the 1940s: Gender, Narrative, and History This book explores the relationship among gender, desire, and narrative in 1940s womans films which negotiate the terrain between public history and private experience. The womans film and other form of cinematic melodrama have often been understood as positioning themselves outside history, and this book challenges and modifies that understanding, contextualizing the films it considers against the backdrop of World War II.
