Women's Lives as Depicted on the Silver Screen

This talk is very popular with women's groups.  It does not necessarily deal with Jewish films or stars.  It is, rather, a study of how Hollywood has dealt with women's issues from the early "weepers" to the more independent woman of today's films.  It is quite interesting, and makes us aware of the changes in the lives of women since the inception of motion pictures.
