Title: From Women to Chick: The Rhetorical Evolution of Women in American film

URL: http://oaktrust.library.tamu.edu/bitstream/handle/1969.1/ETD-TAMU-2833/DAY-THESIS.pdf?sequence=1

Description: College Thesis by Dayna Day written in May, 2008, " This study explores feminine mythic archetypes in films from each phase and demonstrates that first, the era of the woman’s film presents traditional archetypes such as the Mother and the Wife; second, representation becomes more progressive in the new woman’s film of the 1970s through the influence of the women’s movement; third, representations regressed in the chick flick with the onset of post feminism in the late 1980s; and finally, through the rhetorical function of myth, the films serve a persuasive and explanatory function for audiences."
