Show Notes

It's the last day of women's history month, and it's our last special Sunday episode celebrating women's contributions to society. Today, we welcome Professor Nora Gilbert, who speaks with me about the Hays Motion Picture Production Code censorship wasn't all bad for women's expression and portrayals in film. You can find Nora's book, "Better Left Unsaid: Victorian Novels, Hays Code Films, and the Benefits of Censorship" here:
