What Will the Men Wear?

This season explores the star power of three of Hollywood’s most subversive female stars of the 1930s; Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn. Notorious for sporting ‘men’s’ clothing on and off film sets and challenging gender norms, all three women have their place in Hollywood’s queer canon. The films in this season showcase these stars at their most daring but their representation of chic modern womanhood saw a cultural backlash against the increasing freedoms of women. Frequently criticised in the press for daring to wear trousers, Garbo, Dietrich, and Hepburn were eventually outcast and labelled ‘box office poison’.
