This episode is all about women in pre-Code Hollywood, and how a couple Catholic men and the Production Code Administration changed the course of the American film industry forever. What was the role of women in the early days of film? What about people of color? Was representation just as bad then? Who were some successful women in the early film industry? Listen to find out! I'm your host, Mixtape Majesty, inviting you to this solo mixtape as we dive into the early days of Hollywoodland.
