It is a revisionist work that draws upon a wealth of historical research to completely overturn previous accounts.\u201d<br>\n\u2014Robert J. King, author of <em>The Fun Factory: The Keystone Film Company and the Emergence of Mass Culture<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, and Katharine Hepburn all made lasting impressions with the cinematic cross-dressing they performed onscreen. What few modern viewers realize, however, is that these seemingly daring performances of the 1930s actually came at the tail end of a long wave of gender-bending films that included more than 400 movies featuring women dressed as men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Girls Will Be Boys<\/em> excavates a rich history of gender-bending film roles, enabling readers to appreciate the wide array of masculinities that these actresses performed\u2014from sentimental boyhood to rugged virility to gentlemanly refinement. Taking us on a guided tour through a treasure-trove of vintage images, <em>Girls Will Be Boys<\/em> helps us view the histories of gender, sexuality, and film through fresh eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Girls Will Be Boys!
