Los Angeles became a destination. Women flocked to the growing town to join the film industry as workers and spectators, creating a "New Woman." Their efforts transformed filmmaking from a marginal business to a cosmopolitan, glamorous, and bohemian one. By 1920, Los Angeles had become the only western city where women outnumbered men. In Go West, Young Women, Hilary A. Hallett explores these relatively unknown new western women and their role in the development of Los Angeles and the nascent film industry. From Mary Pickford's rise to become perhaps the most powerful woman of her age, to the racist moral panics of the post-World War I years that culminated in Hollywood's first sex scandal, Hallett describes how the path through early Hollywood presaged the struggles over modern gender roles that animated the century to come. 606 $aWomen in the motion picture industry$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 606 $aMotion pictures and women$zUnited States 607 $aHollywood (Los Angeles, Calif.)$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen in the motion picture industry$xHistory 615 0$aMotion picture actors and actresses 615 0$aMotion pictures and women 676 $a791.43/6522 700 $aHallett$b Hilary A.$f1968-$01026592 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463209703321 996 $aGo west, young women$92441577 997 $aUNINA
