    Description
    Examines the intersections of gender, race, class and sexuality in American and/or international film using critical and historical perspectives. Surveys the economic, historical, and social influences upon these representations from early cinema to the present, focusing on both images of women onscreen and influences of women behind the scenes. Analyzes women's filmmaking, images of masculinity, and various "screen sexualities" and other representations of women. Introduces a variety of film theories and analytical perspectives.
