Echo and Narcissus: Women's Voices in Classical Hollywood Cinema
Amy Lawrence
Do women in classical Hollywood cinema ever truly speak for themselves? This work examines 8 classic films to show how women's speech is repeatedly constructed as a 'problem', an affront to male authority. It shows how women's natural ability to speak is interrupted or conditioned to a suffocating degree by sound technology itself.
