This book is an accessible overview of biographical fiction films
of women and is structured around four of the most popular subjects
of female biopics: queens and political figures; entertainers;
writers; and subjects of current affairs. While the biopic is
commonly accepted as a deeply conservative cinematic form that
represents glorification of the past and of the self-made
individual, a number of biopics of women challenge all of these
characterizations. They show the genre to be much more complicated
and challenging to regressive ideas than has been proposed, and
open to different formats and thematic possibilities. Providing an
overview of key subgenres complemented by analyses of key texts
that illustrate major aspects of each category, Biopics of Women
examines the development of biographical films in each area and the
images of successful women they project in order to investigate the
issues involved in women's representation in the genre as a whole.
This is a lively and readable text for students and scholars in
Gender and Film, Gender and Media, and Women's Studies.
