The following films are illustrations of how the representation of film in Hollywood has evolved since the beginning of the 20th century until today. All films have specific feminist film historical and theoretical foundations or have been studied by feminist film scholars and activists. The emphasis of these films in the selection is not the subject matter, rather it’s how the film form has been used by directors and how they represent concepts in feminist film theory such as the “male gaze” and the “imperial gaze.”[1] My focus in this selection is not on “stories” but on how film style shows the representation of women through the cutting, shooting, framing, and use of sound. These are all landmarks in women’s film history.
