HIST 225 - Gender and Sex in the Films of the 1950s


3 Credits
This class uses popular Hollywood films as examples of both the ideals and the cautions of the 1950s, and discusses them with a variety of secondary documents to explore key issues of gender, domesticity, race and sex during the Cold War. Students will assess “the way we never were” by viewing the films through a skeptical lens - was life really like this? - and grounding them in their actual historical contexts.
