Katharine Hepburn

Know about the book -

Katharine Hepburn is written by Andrew Britton and published by Columbia University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 023113276X (ISBN 10) and 9780231132763 (ISBN 13).

In what can be considered one of the very few analyses of American cinema to focus on a film star rather than a director or a genre, Britton proposes a feminist reading of Hepburn's films, arguing that her persona raises problems about class, female sexuality, and women's oppression that strain to the limits the conventions of a cinema ultimately committed to the reassertion of bourgeois gender roles.
