Women and New Hollywood
2023
Overview
The 1970s has often been hailed as a great moment for American
film, as a generation of \"New Hollywood\" directors like Scorsese,
Coppola, and Altman offered idiosyncratic visions of what movies
could be. Yet the auteurist discourse hailing these directors as
the sole authors of their films has obscured the important creative
roles women played in the 1970s American film industry. Women
and New Hollywood revises our understanding of this important
era in American film by examining the contributions that women made
not only as directors, but also as screenwriters, editors, actors,
producers, and critics. Including essays on film history, film
texts, and the decade's film theory and criticism, this collection
showcases the rich and varied cinematic products of women's
creative labor, as well as the considerable barriers they faced. It
considers both women working within and beyond the Hollywood film
industry, reconceptualizing New Hollywood by bringing it into
dialogue with other American cinemas of the 1970s. By valuing the
many forms of creative labor involved in film production, this
collection offers exciting alternatives to the auteurist model and
new ways of appreciating the themes and aesthetics of 1970s
American film.
