Description

The Golden Age of Hollywood's Modern Women In 1929, women in American cinema began to break free from traditional stereotypes. Garbo and Norma Shearer paved the way for more complex characters, challenging the notion that women on screen were limited to being either good or bad. These pioneering actresses, along with others like Constance Bennett, Marlene Dietrich, and Jean Harlow, pushed the boundaries of their roles, exploring themes of love, sacrifice, and desire. Their impact was short-lived, however, as the Production Code came into effect in 1934, effectively banning these modern women from the screen. Mick LaSalle's book explores this pivotal era in Hollywood history, revealing how the pre-Code films of the 1920s and early 1930s remain worth watching today.
