Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. LARGE PRINTGreta Garbo didn't just change film. She changed what it meant to be a woman.Long before "feminism" entered the mainstream, Greta Garbo was showing women around the world how to live, love, work, and claim independence on their own terms. Her performances felt startlingly real at a time when acting was still theatrical and restrained. Women didn't just watch Garbo. They recognized themselves in her.In Greta Garbo and the Rise of the Modern Woman, Scott Reisfield offers a groundbreaking biography that reclaims Garbo's legacy through a feminist and cultural lens. Drawing on family letters, private collections, and years of original research, Reisfield strips away decades of myth to reveal how Garbo consciously shaped her career, her image, and her impact on society.Garbo's audience was not elites or critics. It was working and middle-class women, especially the female clerks who filled first-run movie palaces in major cities. These women were navigating a world in transition, moving away from Victorian constraints and toward modern independence. Garbo became their guide. Through her naturalistic acting style and uncompromising choice of roles, she modeled emotional honesty, sexual autonomy, and self-determination at a moment when those ideas were deeply controversial.This biography follows Garbo from her working-class childhood in Sweden through her rise in Hollywood, her battles with studio power, censorship, and social conservatism, and her refusal to continue making films that compromised her vision of complex, interesting women. It challenges the persistent myth of Garbo as a recluse and instead presents her as a woman who lived deliberately, managed her career with intent, and quietly resisted forces determined to limit women's stories.More than a life story, this book shows how art shapes culture and how one woman's choices helped redefine modern womanhood for generations to come.Meticulously researched, deeply human, and strikingly relevant today, Greta Garbo and the Rise of the Modern Woman is an essential read for anyone interested in women's history, biography, film, and the ongoing struggle for equality. In this intimate biography, Greta Garbo's grandnephew reveals the woman who defied social expectations, and refused to compromise her independence. This item is printed on demand.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - LARGE PRINT'Reisfield knows about Garbo what we would never know. But, fortunately, he tells us.' ~ Mick LaSalle, author of Complicated Women: Sex and Power in Pre-Code Hollywood.Hollywood Made Her a Star.What she did for women made her a Legend.Greta Garbo dominated European cinema and Hollywood in the 1920s and 1930s. With discipline and fearless self-belief, she transformed screen acting into something intimate, modern, and psychologically real. She fought studio control. and won. She challenged censors, defied social expectations, and refused to compromise her independence.More than a movie star, Garbo reshaped what it meant to be a woman on screen-self-possessed, mysterious, and unapologetically autonomous. She redefined the power a woman could hold in Hollywood.In this intimate biography, her grandnephew Scott Reisfield reveals this disciplined artist, strategic thinker, and the fiercely private woman who helped usher a closed culture into the Modern Age.'Scott Reisfield has written a history of his great-aunt, telling the story of both the star and the woman.' - Bo Florin, Professor in Cinema Studies, Stockholm University.
