Abstract:
|
This study explores the portrayal of older women\'s sexuality in recent Hollywood films. Though more recent \"older bird\" films such as \"Something\'s Gotta Give,\" would appear to have an upbeat message about the positive aspects of older women expressing their sexuality, other recent films end up playing into the worst stereotypes of middle-aged women\'s sexuality as somehow deviant and inimical to the interests of the family. In reality, both kinds of film end up expressing a deep cultural ambivalence about what it means for older women to express their sexuality. |
