Description

As the Western matured, women's roles became more complex and modern transmitting a subtle cultural coding about the nature of westward expansionism, heroism, family life, manliness and American femininity.

In Women in the Western, a range of international scholars explores the changing roles of women in the genre through case studies of classic films like Broken Arrow (1950) and The Searchers (1956), and contemporary films and TV series like Wind River (2017) and Justified (2010 15).

Considering traditional and intertextual representations of women in the Western, the book charts the significant shifts in Hollywood's transmission of gender values and expectations.
