Lola embodies a recognizable set of characteristics through which over  time a select group of directors, actors, and audiences have responded in ways  that do not succumb to the imperatives of gender. There are over thirty-five  Lola films, starting with Marlene Dietrich in The Blue Angel: many are German, others are  French, American, British, Italian, and Spanish, but her claim has also  resonated in Argentina, China, Egypt, Mexico, Thailand, and the Philippines.  Lola can be working class, lesbian, transgender, ethnic, suburban, or any  combination. This book examines Lola as a specific and enduring aspect of the  early twentieth-century \"new woman\": woman's forthright claim to pleasure on her  own terms, liberated, if only as a cinematic fantasy, from the usual constraints  of sex and gender.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-08-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137309723\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9781137309730\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 216cm x140cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 218\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47676930654348,"sku":"9781137309723","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137309723.jpg?v=1776552283","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781137309723","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
