Old Hollywood Wasn't So Glamorous

Old Hollywood has always been remembered as the "golden age of entertainment"; everyone was glamorous in the 'city of angels', but under the surface women were faced with objectivity. "At the time, there was no concept of workplace harassment, and women were expected to endure scrutiny and sexualization in order to get work," said history.com. Hollywood has always been run by powerful, controlling men. Women could not speak up about their experiences for a multitude of reasons, such as an effect on future work, shame, dismissal, etc. By using newspaper headlines, quotes and real stories, and prominent names of women who can relate to the assault women worldwide endure, I've created a collage that draws all experiences into one broad category: Old Hollywood Sexual Assault and Harassment.
