La Donna È Mobile: Portraits of Suburban Women in 1970s American Cinema

More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of suburbia and gender in 1970s cinema, this book is structured in three parts. It explores the impact of suburbanization on gender roles in early '70s America, offers critical analyses of notable films from that era, and surveys the resurgence of suburban women's themes in late 1990s and early 2000s media. Through this lens, it reveals how cinema reflects and shapes societal norms regarding gender in suburban settings.
