Katharine Hepburn: Star as Feminist - Film and Culture Series
Andrew Britton
In what can be considered one of the very few analyses of American cinema to focus on a film star rather than a director or a genre, Britton proposes a feminist reading of Hepburn's films, arguing that her persona raises problems about class, female sexuality, and women's oppression that strain to the limits the conventions of a cinema ultimately committed to the reassertion of bourgeois gender roles.
