Summary:
"Disillusioned with what the American film industry had become by the 1970s, Bette Davis remembered a time when "
women
owned
Hollywood
." This book is their story. Historian J.E. Smyth challenges the belief, reinforced in too many histories and public comments, that feminism died between 1930 and 1950, that
women
were not important within the
Hollywood
studio system, that male directors called all the shots, and that the most important
Hollywood
writer you should know about is Dalton Trumbo."--From publisher.
