As the Western matured, women's roles became more complex and
modern transmitting a subtle cultural coding about the nature of
westward expansionism, heroism, family life, manliness and American
femininity. In Women in the Western, a range of international
scholars explores the changing roles of women in the genre through
case studies of classic films like Broken Arrow (1950) and The
Searchers (1956), and contemporary films and TV series like Wind
River (2017) and Justified (2010 15). Considering traditional and
intertextual representations of women in the Western, the book
charts the significant shifts in Hollywood's transmission of gender
values and expectations.
