Charts the cultural tensions played out on-screen in early American cinema. It was a new age, and on movie screens the American middle class presented its visions of sexual morality, with definitions of good women and bad. Bad Women takes us back to this time of massive social, cultural, and economic change to show us how American cinema gave women and womens sexuality images useful to the new consumer culture of the early 1900s and its exploitation of sexual pleasure. Although aimed at producing a certain kind of woman, these new images did manage to put discussions of women and their sexuality on Americas agenda. Charting the resulting cultural tensions as they played out in movie regulation, Janet Staiger shows us how representations and their endless permutations enacted conflicts over womens public and private behaviors. Rich in historical detail and theoretical insight, this book offers an original depiction of a culture in transition, a sexual sensibility in the making, and films participation in the change.
