Howard Hawks: Hawksian Women
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. The Hawksian woman differed much more significantly from Hollywood's representation of women in the studio era when compared with the more modern action heroines of the 1980s and 1990's. Given the fact that Howard Hawks movies portrayed women in a strong and independent light, the Hawksian woman came to represent an on-screen birth of feminism within the film industry. Such classics as Bringing Up Baby with Katharine Hepburn, The Big Sleep with Lauren Bacall and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes with the dynamic duo of Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell helped to establish women as self-reliant individuals who understood the most effective way to achieve their goals. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing this 1949 film in terms of the social norms of the day. Lupino’s unmarried waitress experiences rejection and indifference as her pregnancy becomes apparent. The treatment she receives and the lack of caring on the part of others are components of the societal view and expectations for young women, and the fact that others fail to see those reactions as unremarkable is in itself unremarkable. Others’ reactions are in keeping with society’s expectations, and serve to highlight the very different life experiences of the “good girls” and the others. With her pregnancy, the waitress crosses the boundary into otherness. Bibliography lists 1 source.
