Cinema played a key role in the changing urban landscape. For working-class women, it became a refuge from the factory. For middle-class women, it presented a new language of sexual danger and pleasure. Women found greater freedom in big cities, entering the workforce in record numbers and moving about unchaperoned in public spaces. Turn-of-the-century Chicago surpassed even New York as a proving ground for pleasure and education, attracting women workers at three times the national rate. Using Chicago as a model, Lauren Rabinovitz analyzes the rich interplay among demographic, visual, historical, and theoretical materials of the period. She skillfully links cinema theory and women's studies for a fuller understanding of cultural history. She also demonstrates how cinema dramatically affected social conventions, ultimately shaping modern codes of masculinity and feminity. 0aMotion pictures and women. 0aWomen in motion pictures. 4aMujeres en el cine 4aMujeres en la industria cinematográfica  0aWomenzIllinoiszChicagoxSocial conditions. 0aPopular culturezIllinoiszChicagoxHistoryy19th century. 0aPopular culturezIllinoiszChicagoxHistoryy20th century. 4aCultura popular xHistoria zChicago (Illinois)  0aCulture in motion pictures. 4aCultura en el cine  0aChicago (Ill.)xSocial conditions. 4aChicago (Estados Unidos) xCondiciones sociales
