"Women stars in Hollywood were invariably in one of two
categories," said director Otto Preminger. "One group was made up
of women who were exploited by men, and the other, much smaller
group was composed of women who survived by acting like men."
Beginning with silent film vamp Theda Bara and continuing with
icons like Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe and Raquel Welch, this study
of film industry misogyny describes how female stars were
maltreated by a sexist studio system--until women like Katharine
Hepburn and Bette Davis fought for parity. The careers of Doris
Day, Brigitte Bardot, Carole Landis, Francis Farmer, Dorothy
Dandridge, Inger Stevens and many others are examined, along with
more recent actresses like Demi Moore and Sharon Stone. Women who
worked behind the scenes, writing screenplays, producing and
directing without due credit, are also covered.
