| Popis: | As women began outnumbering men in college enrollments in the 1970s, a backlash against independent, assertive women appeared in Hollywood’s female-centered college movies. During the 1970s–1980s, Hollywood’s films showed co-eds’ purpose as titillation through nudity, sex, or victimized horror scenes. In more recent decades, college women are seen in faux-feminist roles, prioritizing romance and heterosexual relationships over academics. This chapter examines 23 women-centered college movies from 1970 to 2012 that have both distorted and mirrored women’s experiences and roles in higher education while dismissing their intellectual capabilities. |
