Abstract
I became interested in gender history last year, during my junior spring quarter. I
chose this topic in particular, an analysis of the gender constructions in French and
American New Wave Cinema, for a few reasons, the foremost being that I wanted to
analyze cultural staples in a way that they had not truly been done yet.
Historiographically, I have found very few studies pertaining to American film and
gender roles in the 1960s and even less of French film. Thus, I decided to set out to
explore this topic. Being an enthusiast of cinema in general, I have found this topic to be
not only enjoyable, but an entertaining experience.
