MAE WEST will be featured during a talk in Valhalla, New York on Friday, 23 March 2012.• • This program was scheduled to commemorate Women’s History Month. Here is a summary statement: Professor Lisa Delmonico and her Film 101 class present a lecture on "Women in Film: Representations of Femininity in Movies," including discussion and the viewing of clips of Mary Pickford (America's Sweetheart), Mae West, Femme Fatales of the 40s, pin-ups from the 50s, the backlash against the women's movement and how it was represented in 1980s films, etc. Delmonico will consider the ways the cultural climate in the USA influenced the type of woman being depicted in Hollywood (by almost exclusively male directors). Her lecture also describes how the Depression, WW2, the 1960s civil rights movements, and post 9/11 America all had a hand in the way we "see" women in film as well as the ways working class women are represented and marginalized in Hollywood films.
