- Summary
-
- "Disillusioned with what the American film industry had become by the 1970s, Bette Davis remembered a time when "women owned Hollywood." This book is their story. Historian J.E. Smyth challenges the belief, reinforced in too many histories and public comments, that feminism died between 1930 and 1950, that women were not important within the Hollywood studio system, that male directors called all the shots, and that the most important Hollywood writer you should know about is Dalton Trumbo"--
- Between 1930 and 1950 over 40% of film industry employees were women, 25% of all screenwriters were female, one woman ran MGM behind the scenes, over a dozen women worked as producers, a woman headed the Screen Writers Guild three times. Hollywood was ahead of the rest of the country in terms of gender equality and employment. Smyth examines how shaped Hollywood film production and style, led their unions, climbed to the top during the war, and fought the blacklist during these years
