This amazing book reconfigures cinematic depictions of cross-dressing and lesbianism ...

Few scholarly arguments as sophisticated as Horak's are presented in such clear and precise language ... Summing Up: Essential. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers., Laura Horak's Girls Will Be Boys is without peer as a historical contribution to queer scholarship on early film. It is a revisionist work that draws upon a wealth of historical research to completely overturn previous accounts., With this fascinatingly detailed and thorough study of cross-dressed women in pre-code cinema, Horak puts the light on a seldom studied practice., Horak's exhaustive research turns up many incredible moments in the history of gender shake-ups in the movies. Girls Will Be Boys is a hugely satisfying read, one of those rare books that offer distinct value to scholars while siultaneously being an entertaining read., Horak's work is solidly interdisciplinary and combines contemporary feminist, queer, gender, and critical-race theory with thorough historical research; she uses media texts as a way to tell a larger story about American culture and succeeds brilliantly, Fascinating and timely ...

In a moment when pop culture is ablaze with stories of the 'novelty' of transgender and gender nonconforming people, this historian was delighted to sink into a thoroughly researched book that was ten years in the making., Horak has produced a meticulously researched, astutely argued, and highly readable text ... her use of archival materials is impeccable and her filmic and historical analyses clearly display a nuanced understanding of her topic., Drawing on the early archives of American cinema, Horak questions the assumption that cross-dressing actresses were inherently transgressive ... and provides a new lens through which to view gender, sexuality and film., This fascinating and well-written treatise is a laudable addition to film scholarship and a must-purchase for academic collections with concentrations in film or women's and gender studies., By repositioning our perspective within the lens of the films' initial reception, Horak provides a much-needed new view of what cross-dressing women and lesbians meant within the context of early film., Fascinating and timely ...

Synopsis
2016 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Finalist for 2016 Richard Wall Memorial Award by the Theatre Library Long listed for the 2017 Kraszna-Krausz Best Photography Book Award from the Kraszna-Krausz Foundation 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. Laura Horak spent a decade scouring film archives worldwide, looking at American films made between 1908 and 1934, and what she discovered could revolutionize our understanding of gender roles in the early twentieth century. Questioning the assumption that cross-dressing women were automatically viewed as transgressive, she finds that these figures were popularly regarded as wholesome and regularly appeared onscreen in the 1910s, thus lending greater respectability to the fledgling film industry. Horak also explores how and why this perception of cross-dressed women began to change in the 1920s and early 1930s, examining how cinema played a pivotal part in the representation of lesbian identity. Girls Will Be Boys excavates a rich history of gender-bending film roles, enabling readers to appreciate the wide array of masculinities that these actresses performed--from sentimental boyhood to rugged virility to gentlemanly refinement. Taking us on a guided tour through a treasure-trove of vintage images, Girls Will Be Boys helps us view the histories of gender, sexuality, and film through fresh eyes., 2016 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Finalist for 2016 Richard Wall Memorial Award from the Theatre Library Association Long-listed for the 2017 Best Photography Book Award from the Kraszna-Krausz Foundation Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, and Katharine Hepburn all made lasting impressions with the cinematic cross-dressing they performed onscreen.
