There was a sort of artistic clampdown post-WWII, with more strictly gendered roles for women (read: bland).<BR/><BR/>The 1970s were also a rich time for women in film (Norma Rae, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore). In fact, there's a whole genre of activism films that feature women.<BR/><BR/>This is off the top of my head - it may not be what you're looking for.Sour Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01970720171089778917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312920.post-4460277253070287922007-04-28T21:22:00.000+10:002007-04-28T21:22:00.000+10:00Claire, yes I love it.
