The following is an opening article from a copy of Film Weekly magazine published on Friday 8th July 1932. Film Weekly was a leading film magazine produced the UK from 1928 – 1939 after which it merged with another film magazine, Picturegoer.
The article in question that I’m excited to share is titled, “What is a “Woman’s Picture?”” and it’s a true feminist article. I remember first reading it on my floor about 6 weeks ago, my smile getting wider and wider with pride as I read the editor-in-chief, Herbert Thompson’s, opening article.
I’ll now give you time to read the article if you want. If you don’t want to, just move onto the next bit of this post to hear my favourite excerpt which also nicely sums up the article’s message.
