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 women’s 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 film’s participation in the change.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"Univ Of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52570065568024,"sku":"9780816626250","price":22.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/bad-women-regulating-sexuality-in-early-american-cinema-paperback-softback-9780816626250","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
