Description
Women have had their (brief) moments of power during the 100+ years of Hollywood, but they and other marginalised groups have never had an easy ride. Film critic Helen O'Hara's book Women vs Hollywood: the Fall and Rise of Women in Film is a must-read for understanding this history of cinema - from the perspective of those still trying to get an equal piece of the pie. She's the perfect way to kick off this podcast: from the problem with the (very white male) film canon, to how women's opinions are still shouted down, Helen is a voice of reason - and a highly engaging and entertaining one at that. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
