A critical analysis of films such as \u003ci\u003eThe Ballad of Little Jo, The Piano\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDogfight, Old Wives' Tales\u003c\/i\u003e also takes up performance, autobiographical experience, and contemporary social issues to illustrate how women's genres mediate between us and reality. Modelski examines the changes occurring in traditional women's genres, such as romances and melodrama, and explores the phenomenon of female authors and performers who \"cross-dress\"--women, that is, who are moving into male genres and staking out territory declared off-limits by men and by many feminists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tania Modleski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814755941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814755945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 5.96w x 0.68d","brand":"Tania Modleski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46617861914879,"sku":"9780814755945","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04d46303-7e01-41ce-bdc7-d280ffd5c0ae.jpg?v=1740068532","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/old-wives-tales-and-other-tania-modleski-9780814755945","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
