| Abstract: | The article discusses representations of women in British films in the 1920s and 1930s and how these films show popular opinions and expectations about women's work and gender roles at that time. The research of scholars John Sedgwick, Sue Harper, and Christine Gledhill on British popular cinema is considered. The popularity of American films in Britain is considered. It is noted that during this time women entered the British workforce in greater numbers and that the author is also interested in how the films portray women's love lives. Other topics include a history of women's employment in Britain during the interwar period, the films "Squibs Wins the Calcutta Sweeps," "The Rat," and "Camille," and the audience response to these films. |
