Women in Between.

BRÉGENT-HEALD, DOMINIQUE
- Abstract
The article discusses representations of women, race, and nation in motion pictures filmed during the Progressive Era, focusing particularly on the movies "Ramona" and "The Barrier," filmed in 1910 and 1917 respectively. The author considers how the films present métissage and mestizaje characters, people of mixed European and Native American descent, especially in movies set in locations on the borders of the U.S. with either Canada or Mexico. The film "Ramona" is based on the 1884 novel by Helen Hunt Jackson and "The Barrier" is based on the 1908 novel by Rex Beach, both of which have mixed-race heroines.
