Women and National Identity in U.S. Silent Film

The American Girl Goes to War demonstrates the predominance of heroic female characters in in early narrative films about war. American Girls were filled with the military spirit of their forefathers and became one of the major ways that American women’s changing political involvement, independence, and active natures were contained by and subsumed into pre-existing American ideologies.
