From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in the Movies by Molly Haskell
4.0
Extremely interesting insight on the woman's role in cinema during the Golden Age of Hollywood, quickly exploring the misogynistic themes of the 70's, I think this is a must read.
Some parts were hard for me to follow because I didn't know a portion of what she was referencing (I'm new and self taught when it comes to film studies), she gives enough info so that the reader isn't completely misplaced.
Though the book is certainly dated in a couple points, I still enjoyed it and admire Haskell for her work. Will probably revisit this once I'm more familiar with the works mentioned.
