With an abundance of male-focused stories, Hollywood continues to reinforce the association of athleticism with masculinity. Portrayals of women in prominent roles indicate social attitudes and values and--when looked at over time--also show what influence the women's movement has had on cinematic representation and social understandings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This discussion of sports film heroines begins with \u003ci\u003eNational Velvet\u003c\/i\u003e (1944) and ends with \u003ci\u003eSecretariat\u003c\/i\u003e (2010). It addresses the question of whether these story lines do or do not empower women as characters and role models, while offering alternative cinematic choices that reflect the true and ever-growing history of women in sports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Viridiana Lieberman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786476613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786476619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Viridiana Lieberman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44540340895999,"sku":"9780786476619","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32c0e8cc-b26a-46a2-afa5-89d2d1ea85fb.jpg?v=1700587355","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sports-heroines-on-film-viridiana-lieberman-9780786476619","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
