This scene from the 1964 film, “My Fair Lady” shows how females are supposed to act in a certain manner in society, and if they were to show “masculine” characteristics like the female protagonist, they will be seen as a mockery to society. The scene also shows how females are expected to repress their emotions and not be overtly expressive.
Question: Does the historical timeline in which the film is set or produced in affect how females are being representated in society?
